I was hoping there was an easy unix(debian,posix) way of doing this. Running processes unniced as a normal user. AFAIN I need to be suid0 for this, but I can't find any examples in yahoo.
The problem is that I'm using ANDeamon that puts gkrellm at 15(nice:), this is what I like. What I don't like is an exec xmms from the niced gkrellm. This causes xmms to be unusable(as exec keeps the nice), it must be not nice and RTS even. A nice value of 0 is needed for xmms ALL WAYS. Thankfully you also need to be in group audio to use xmms, so I don't mind uses in that group to initially run xmms suid0. Problem 1: I can't just use a shell script suid0 to renice and drop privs. I'm told this is wrong, I have no reason to question this. Problem 2: There is no util currently available that I know of that deals with this. su, nice, renice, and the like don't touch it. Non of them have a config like sudo saying who and when can nice what. Problem 3: I could not find any example of sudo doing this. Caveats: I only wont to be nice 0, that's all. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
