Linux Nice/Renice Note

by z3n on Jul.16, 2009, under Linux Happyness, Notes

It’s odd, but I though that the higher the nice number was higher was the priority of a process, turns out that I was wrong, it’s the inverse.

Example: Priority 20 is the default lowest priority, while 0 is the normal priority. There’s also negative values to force a higher priority.

Besides the priority values, I haven’t found anything about cpu affinity, however, I didn’t tried hard, since the machine I’m running linux is single core anyway.
