lower and higher priority process

[shoux]

hi all !

How to set permanently users process to higher priority? As a default the PRI is 60 and NI is 20. Is it process will be faster when the priority is changed?

Thanks you

You need root-privilege to set a higher priority on a process. Use the setpri subroutine if you're writing a C-program or the command renice if you're writing a shell-script. setpri sets a fixed (only for the lifetime of the process) priority while renice just changes the nice value.
