One can use at the CLI: #> ps -ef | grep squee
to see list of the processes that include "squee" which will show the primary LMS processes and the Scanning process if running. Note the Proccess ID (PID) of the scanning process. In my output from earlier: squeeze+ *1480* 396 34 00:16 ? 00:29:53 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver-scanner --logconfig=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/log.conf --logdir=/var/log/squeezeboxserver/ --priority=0 --novideo --noimage --prefsdir=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs --wipe --debug scan=ERROR,database.info=ERROR,scan.auto=DEBUG,art work=ERROR,scan.import=ERROR,scan.scanner=ERROR Renice uses this format: #> renice <number> -p <pid_from_above> Default niceness value is 0, 1-19 is REMOVING priority. -1 to -20 is INCREASING process priority. I did #> renice 15 -p 1480 And using top I can clearly see that the new Nice value and, within 60 seconds I also saw that the primary LMS process stopped using 100% CPU and I can now connect to it: top - 02:33:32 up 3:12, 6 users, load average: 1.04, 1.24, 1.61 Tasks: 143 total, 2 running, 141 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.6 us, 2.2 sy, 23.0 ni, 74.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 949580 total, 26196 free, 297584 used, 625800 buff/cache KiB Swap: 102396 total, 98372 free, 4024 used. 573788 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND *1480 squeeze+ 35 15 131924 126508 9800 R 100.0 13.3 81:07.40 perl * 396 squeeze+ 20 0 142060 135456 9756 S 2.0 14.3 80:21.71 squeezeboxserve 1868 pi 20 0 8536 3440 2868 R 1.0 0.4 0:04.42 top 1434 root 20 0 12548 10768 4240 S 0.7 1.1 0:52.48 squeezelite-arm So, the better question is how I can get LMS to use such a niceness value by default? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108720 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
