Package: htop
Version: 0.5.2-1
Severity: wishlist

'htop' has a handy tag feature, about which the man page says:

   Space
        "Tag":  mark a process. Commands that can operate on multiple processes,
        like "kill", will then apply over the list of tagged processes,  instead
        of the currently highlighted one.

...but it doesn't seem to work with the F7 or F8 'renice' keys. 

Example: a piggy parent process can spawn many child processes,  so to
slow 'em all down a user must laboriously renice them separately.

It would be easier if you could just tag 'em, hit F8 to renice the lot.


Hope this helps...


PS: 'htop' is a lot easier than 'top'.
