I agree. It would certainly be better from a user-interface standpoint to be able to tell the system that a process has priority X, and the system would just do the right thing, wrt both CPU and I/O. So I guess now I'm saying that this functionality belongs in a program like `nice' that does both things. Having to resort to using TSTP and CONT signals is a kludge, but maybe necessary to provide this functionality even on systems without adequate kernel support. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
