Hi Doug, Not that this is much a improvement but thought youd like to be informed of it. I usually try to refrain whenever possible from calling utilities like nice(1) or renice(1) and let processes inherit their niceness be inherited from the parent process. This patch does that very thing for portmaster.
Regards, -- J. Hellenthal
