Yes, I'm a very "nice" person. ;) > but I think it's not a problem if it remains there, I'd expect > people who run this command with no knoweledge of nice comand to > do "man nice" :-) Basically, it came down to this: if somebody doesn't know what they're doing, then they would probably rather have the 45-minute doc build be low-priority (so they can still use mail or browse the web or whatever), rather than high-priority. I can't think of any instance where anybody without serious unix knowledge[1] would *want* a long build to take priority over other things, so I made the copy&paste command match that. [1] Sure, somebody running a build-box server for multiple open-source projects might want the lilypond build to be higher priority than a complete freebsd build... but that's a pretty special case, and the persons involved would have sufficient unix knowledge to remove or modify the nice command.
