Re: [SHR-testing] where to get the 'nice' binary
2009/4/8 Konstantin chaosspaw...@gmx.net: Hi there, I hope someone can help me with that. I'd love to raise the nice-value of apps I start (for example mplayer), but I can't find the nice binary on SHR testing. Any hints as to where to get it? In Ubuntu/Debian, it's in the package coreutils, if that helps, but I didn't find a similar package in the SHR repositories... Start the mplayer thru a shellscript, like this: #!/bin/sh renice -20 $$ exec mplayer ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Thanks a lot! :) P.S.: I've put $1 after exec mplayer, because that way I can give a file to play as an argument. Works like a charm :D Regards, Konstantin ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Any help is greatly appreciated :) In such distributions, I'd expect it to be built into `busybox'. So try to run `busybox' and see if `nice' is listed as one of the commands that are built into it. If yes, then busybox nice -N cmd should do the trick. If not, you'll either have to get another build of busybox that includes `nice', or install Debian's `nice' binary (or build your own). Another option is to use start-stop-daemon which accepts a -N argument. Stefan ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Interesting - busybox in shr testing and unstable (upgraded today) doesn't seem to have builtin 'nice' functionality, but contains 'renice' - weird ;) Anyway, I'll go looking for a source tarball of 'nice' now, as I really would like to avoid building busybox... the last time I fiddled with core system utilities on my fr, it broke GSM on my SHR testing - and that was just by installing packages from the official repository ;) Anyway, thanks for your help so far :) Stefan Regards, Konstantin ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
