The actual priority and the niced priority are different. The priority changes all the time, while the niced value is used to force it to a certain level.
Make sure you're reading the niced column. Tasks using CPU will generally have a lower value (lower number = higher priority) than ones not doing anything. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 10:18:29 -0800 >From: "Devin Carlson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [hlds_linux] Re: About srcds_i486 (tf2) process priority >To: <[email protected]> > >the lower the priority the more "important" the process in regards to CPU >time (which allows it to get cpu time above other processes), you can >specify this with a command line argument (nice or renice once it is >running) i don't know of any hard coded scheduling present in the srcds >process, typically this is handled by the kernel unless otherwise specified >(nice or renice). > >-3 should be ok tho, is is a higher priority but it can go as low as -20 so >it's not that "bad"? > >> Message: 9 >> Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:35:48 +0200 >> From: Andrius Pirus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [hlds_linux] About srcds_i486 (tf2) process priority >> Reply-To: [email protected] >> >> -- >> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >> Seems that srcds_i486 process is started with priority -3 .
