Fwd: What priority this app running?

Priority isn't shown in the output above. Try $ ps -o pri,ni,rtprio,command -p `pgrep amarok` This will display priority, nice value and realtime priority (in that order). The ps man page doesn't show the values for priority, therefore, what should be the values it should display for lowest and highest priority (realtime)? A lower value means higher priority. Realtime priority 0 is as high as you can get. See also rtprio(1). I am not so familiar with the pri or rtprio columns as much as I am the nice column, and I'm also new to this list. So, I hope I'm not throwing in my 2 cents too early. With nice, 20 is the lowest priority, 0 is the base, and -20 is the highest. for me `ps auxl` shows both pri and ni, but not rtprio and I'm definitely not the one to ask regarding pri and rtprio. I should do some reading upon these, too.

that's right - it is because with nice you tell it 'how nice to be'. when you
ask a process to have a level 20 of niceness, it will be VERY nice and the
kernel will let other processes in front of it. If you say, this process will
have a negative value of niceness, it isn't very nice at all ;)
