It is difficult to implement priority by the user. So far as I know linux has only 1 default priority and thats 0 for everything. It should have a mechanism to set different default prio's for users, processes and all childs or even for a whole shellprocedure. But linux hasn't it can only set prio for 1 process and after completion you are again on the default prio of 0. Hans
