Strange, ionice requires root privs, even when using -c3 to mean "A program running with idle io priority will only get disk time when no other program has asked for disk io for a defined grace period. The impact of idle io processes on normal system activity should be zero.". Compared to nice(1), which does not need root privs if just lowering the priority. Got to grab root privs for long enough to lower IO priority, then drop them again to actually do stuff as an ordinary user. sudo ionice -c3 su onefang -c NIGHTLY_BUILD Yuck. Guess I could install it as a root cron job, that leaves out the initial sudo command at least.
