I have a CPU and IO intensive task I'd like to tame a bit but I'm not sure if this can be done in a one-liner. Since both nice and ionice are designed to run only a single command I'm not sure if the following would work: ionice -c3 nice -n19 <process> It looks like to me that ionice is going to run nice who's going to run the task. Another option is to ionice bash but by default the process is not started in a shell so I would have to script it: #!/bin/bash ionice -c3 $$ nice -n19 <process> --- end --- I tried examining the first example using pstree but I don't think the processes "stacked".
