A process with appropriate privilege can get the id of process and then reduce the priority. I dont know if a process can do this to itself (I have my doubts) but perhaps your service runs within a context where another process can do this? As far as I know you cannot change priority through the SCM functions. -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232
