Is there a way to set a 'nice' priority for a particular user?
Why, yes-- see /etc/login.conf and the priority keyword.
Some shells also let you adjust the priority levels for various users.
Also, when I run this:
nice -n 5 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
I get:
nice: Badly formed number.
I ran a man page on it, and this is the right format, but its not
working.
Many shells offer nice as a built-in keyword, with syntax that may
vary slightly from what /usr/bin/nice uses. Either try "/usr/bin/
nice -n 5 _command_", or use "nice 5 _command_" under csh/tcsh. sh/
ksh/zsh ought to understand the -n flag and be more similar to the
external command under /usr/bin.
