Issue #1381 has been updated by adam.
I'm not sure I think this is a good idea. If you have specific commands that you know are causing trouble, slipping a "nice" in front of the exec is already totally supported. If you aren't having trouble with specific commands, just "nice"-ing everything feels like a superbly premature activity. What's your use-case for this? Adam ---------------------------------------- Bug #1381: Add nice option to 'exec' type http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1381 Author: lludwig Status: Unreviewed Priority: Low Assigned to: Category: Target version: Keywords: Complexity: Unknown Patch: None Affected version: 0.24.4 It would be nice to 'nice' a program before it starts. That way any application you run with puppet (ie compiling) can be NICEd to a lower priority and not hog too many resources. I propose something like this: <pre> exec { "gcc test.c": nice => 15, } </pre> this would nice the @gcc test.c@ to a level of 15. If ran manually it would look like this. <pre> nice 15 gcc test.c </pre> Also if possible it would be great if a global wide option for puppet can 'nice' all external applications run (either via 'exec' type or other types that call external programs (ie 'package' type that calls 'yum'). IMHO what matters is puppet creates a correct configuration, not how fast it runs. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
