Er, of course it's increasing the nice value which actually decreases the priority...

As a sidenote, I think nohup really shouldn't be tinkering with the nice value since it's sole purpose is to ignore the HUP signal; the man page doesn't even mention the fact that it changes the priority. Furthermore if I *want* a lower priority I can do it easily myself with the nice command. Regards Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
