The backuppc documentation (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html) suggests using the following command to modify the 'nice' level of a backup:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backup $host nice -n 19 sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'; However, when checking the output of top, the rsync command on the client shows a nice level of '0'. Do modifications have to be made to /etc/security/limits.conf to allow regular users to renice process levels? Also, does sudo inherit nice levels? -- Ryan Manikowski | System Administrator :703.677.8499: ryan.manikow...@2ergo.com 2ergo – Digital leaders in a mobile world Mobile Excellence Award - Best Innovator Mobile Star Award - Best Enterprise Mobile Web Publishing Solution Webby Awards - Official Honoree for Best Mobile News Site Deloitte Fast 50 - Fastest Growing Technology Companies in the UK GSMA - GSMA Mobile Innovation Award Finalist Vodafone - Vodafone Innovation Award ***** Email confidentiality notice ***** This message (including attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
