hi,
i got multiple processes running on my system, whose process id's (PID) can be known by "ps".
My query is .... can we increase and/or decrease the priority of these processes "dynamically", so that i can choose which process gets the maximum and which one gets the minimum CPU TIME.
best of luck.

"nice" should help you.

I suppose u have to use the nice command or the nice system call if u want to do it in programmatically....but for nice to have an negative increment u will have to be the super user....also can u please elaborate on what processe u have to change the priority

"renice" is what the original poster is looking for. nice is helpful only while starting a process.
