Hi All,

Was wondering if there was a system tunable parameter that would
change the default priority for "user" processes?

It appears that priority 19 is what all user processes get started
at, and these get "niced" at some point if the process takes too
much of the cpu, etc.

But I'd like to be able to change the default of 19 to something
lower, and was hoping this was tunable with the Kernel Tuner.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim
