Like I said before.. lets get some numbers before we all start being high and mighty.
I can see two things, both with pros and cons:
low priority: theoretically less CPU usage, less load. One server should not impact other servers as much.. downside: might introduce apparant lag as shots dont register as well, etc.
high priority: Faster response time, but its NOT FREE. I think this will lead to increased CPU usage, which might increase the load on the system negating any gains.
Of course, I am assuming a multiple-gameserver environment. For ONE server only, run that sucka -19 :)

I meant it as a nice way to say... set all your hlds processes as -5 and then anything else on the box as whatever else priority you want, or whatever. Why in the world would you want to set the priority lower ? lol On my box that spri runs on I reset a server and it filled up before spri ran again (this was before I realized I needed to run it more often than every 15 min on a game server box in case of restarts lol) and the pings were horrible. Everyone else on the box at the higher priority was fine. So I wouldnt lower the priority of a hlds process at all unless you want to lose customers haha.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] SPRI simply "renice" the process every 5 minutes. So it's pretty much the same. On actual usage, it can be tricky to configure. For game servers, lowering the priority can mean that a server has to wait longer for information to be processed and introduce lag to your game servers.
On top of that, if a game servers demand more processing cycles (example if you set x number of game servers on the same priority level) than what the CPU can offer, renicing it won't help at all despite it being processed first.
In short, it's not a solution at all usually for the CPU issues for CS. ----- Original Message ----- From: RiGo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 4:10 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] system priority script for linux
If you are running debian linux, simply use "renice -priority -pid"
