Actually, that's not necessary. You can always become root for the purpose of exercising privileged operations and then go back to being a "regular" user to carry out everyday tasks. E.g.: su root -c 'ionice -c 3 su nonRootUser -c "ultimate command"' Or, if you're already root: ionice -c 3 su nonRootUser -c "ultimate command" > -- > Cheers, > Carlos E. R.
