Read the man page on "nice". If you want to give it highest priority you'd use "nice -20 command ...", but it's usually a better idea to use -10 or -15 instead to just give it an advantage over most of your other processes (which usually run at 0). -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
