![]() It's already February now, so let's not lose any more time and go right ahead. ( commands shown with '.' require a visible task display window )Īfter that, “renice it”, and the nice column should reflect the new nice value straight away.Here's the fre:ac development status update for January 2017. W,Y Write configuration file 'W' Inspect other output 'Y' K,r Manipulate tasks: 'k' kill 'r' renice Toggle scroll coordinates msg for: up,down,left,right,home,end Set: 'n'/'#' max tasks displayed Show: Ctrl+'O' other filter(s)Ĭ.

V, -version display version information and exit u, -user interpret argument as username or user ID p, -pid interpret argument as process ID (default) ![]() n, -priority specify the nice increment value g, -pgrp interpret argument as process group ID Here’s the renice command’s help info: $ renice -help However if you want to change the nice value of a process that is already running, then you need to use the renice command instead. $ nice -n -10 service vsftpd start # this starts the ftp server with a higher priority. ![]() You can specify a nice value at the time of starting a new process: Root 3 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 16:04 0:00 įor complete documentation, run: info coreutils 'nice invocation'īy default, all processes starts with a nice value of “0”, in other words average priority. USER PID NI %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND You can also use the ps command to view nice values: $ ps -eo user,pid,nice,pcpu,pmem,vsize,rss,tname,stat,start_time,bsdtime,command | head Tasks: 128 total, 2 running, 126 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie You can view the nice values using to the top command, where the nice values are given under the “NI” column: $ top - 16:17:48 up 13 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.05 Hence the higher the nice value, the more “nice” a process is in allowing other processes to spend more time with the cpu. The nice setting takes a value from -20 to +19, where -20 is the highest priority…and…+19 is the lowest priority. Modifying the priority is to do with changing a process’s “nice” settings.
