This is definitely wrong. setpriority expects a process ID together with
PRIO_PROCESS, not an user ID. You could try to use getpid() instead.
However, passing 0 as second parameter is officially allowed and is
interpreted as the current process too.
The cause is more likely that the process is not allowed to set the
requested priority. To investigate this, you can dump the old and new
priority value to the log files. Looks something like this: (untested)
dsyslog("%s thread setpriority %i to %i", Thread->description,
getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0), Priority);
Cheers,
Udo
