Hi Ashutosh:

use ps -aux or top to get the process number

then

renice 19 <pid number>

this will dynamically change the priority of a running process to 19

What i want to do, is, to change the priority of a running process *dynamically*. This dynamic decision must be based on the PID of the running process.

regards,

ashutosh.
