I don't know whats nice in this regard, but in linux (unix) the nice level of a process is the priority it has with regards to other processes. i.e how much preference it gets from the cpu (bigger or small time slices). IIRC 1-16 is kernel level and 17-32 is user and the smaller the number the higher the priority (there is probably an off by one error here). Notice that its different then the built in cpu priority states (which define the access control the process has in terms of resources). -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
