Bug #1381: Add nice option to 'exec' type
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1381

Author: Larry Ludwig
Status: Accepted
Priority: Low
Assigned to: 
Category: exec
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Unknown
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.4
Keywords: exec nice


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.
