I didn't mean to criticize, I'm just a bit frustrated trying to figure
out what the behavior should _be_ in the absence of a standard and with

The man page I linked to matches the one on ubuntu 10.04, which is what
this netbook still has on it. (I'm being lazy about upgrading the LTS.
The new one has this horrible X11 behavior where clicks register twice a
lot of the time. They screwed up debouncing or something. _right_
clicking on things sometimes left-clicks what's underneath the mouse
cursor. Maybe it's an xfce thing, but I don't see how, and xubuntu 10.04
doesn't do it, so...)
No criticism taken, just wanted to state I was not under any influence
of exotic things while implementing that command ;).
I just looked at the
manpage on my debian system (util-linux-2.20.1) and it resembles this
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/taskset.1.html (you
need to scroll down to see the options.
(I think this patch http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/19513/138/
more or less shows the -a specific changes).
So there's no standard for this command _and_ its changed significantly
in the past couple years. Lovely.
Ok, I happily defer to your superior knowledge in this area.
My knowledge is limited to the manpage and what google spat out, not
much superior there.
Meaning to works as renice, rather than nice. I'm open to suggestions, I
can as well the 'work-as-nice' functionality,
Is there more to it than:
if (opt.argc>2) xexec(toys.optargs+2);
Well, taskset getpid() and then exec. And detect -p... ok there's a bit
of work.
I'd prefer if you could add the new work-as-nice stuff since you know
what the UI should be like, and I'll hold off converting to the raw
syscall until then. Sound good?
Sounds like a deal, expect a patch with the nice-like behavior (but it
won't be much more work than wat you already stated) in the coming days.
