Audio, You can always start your scripts with [re]nice() syscall to lower your process (perl script in this case) priority. Regards, Tamer -----Original Message----- From: Audio Phile [mailto:da_audiophile@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 8:57 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: lower cpu priority to perl scripts I'd like to adjust the priority of /usr/bin/perl such that it will always run with very low priority. The PC that I'm using isn't very powerful. I'm running rrdweather on it and when a user hits the weather.cgi about 10 processes of perl scripts run, which totally throttles foreground applications until they finish. How can I assign /usr/bin/perl to always run with a really low CPU priority (a really high nice value) for any script it executes? Is this an apache2 setting or...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
