Jesse contributed a PR so that puppet can specify the priority for processes it starts.[1] This is important when the puppet daemon is running at a lower priority but needs to start process and services running at normal priority.[2]
Adding a `priority` argument to `Puppet::Util::Execute.execute` is easy enough for *nix. However, the `execute` method is an API with different implementations for *nix, Windows and JRuby, and each of those have different ways of expressing priority. Puppet has a priority setting[3] and it accepts, "‘high’, ‘normal’, ‘low’, or ‘idle’, which are mapped to platform-specific values. The priority can also be specified as an integer value and will be passed as is, e.g. -5." I'd like to propose that the Execution API follow this convention as well. Comments/Suggestions?
