Maybe a module would work for this? That may be slight more reusable, since you could just hand it an array of PIDs and new nice levels. In fact, if you use the nice value as the key (instead of the PID), you could probably condense things into a a few calls to 'renice', instead of having to iterate over every PID. -- Jesse Becker NHGRI Linux support (Digicon Contractor) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
