reniced for Debian ------------------ For reniced's intended default use case "change priority of long running server processes", have a look at systemd overrides as described in /usr/share/doc/reniced/reniced-and-systemd.txt . You might not need reniced at all if systemd already covers your needs. Of course, other usage scenarios are possible as well. As reniced can only renice those processes already running, it should be called regularly to act on new or restarted processes. To accomplish this, you could add a file like this to /etc/cron.d/: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # reniced 10 6 * * * root /usr/bin/reniced You could also add reniced to cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly,yearly}, run it from a user's crontab or start it using a systemd.timer. -- Christian Garbs , Mon, 2 Sep 2024 23:23:16 +0200
