reniceall
Welcome to the reniceall project page. reniceall is a
simple shell script that is to renice what killall is to
kill - it lets you renice all running processes with a given
name to a new nice value at one time.
Example:
[esser@dual esser]$ reniceall 5 bash
8490: old priority 0, new priority: 5
2059: old priority 0, new priority: 5
2041: old priority 0, new priority: 5
2023: old priority 0, new priority: 5
When you call reniceall as normal user, you may only increase
the nice values of processes; this is the same limitation as for the
regular renice command.
However, the administrator (root) can set any nice value, including
negative ones.
There's a help function
[esser@dual esser]$ reniceall -h
reniceall renices several processes with same name.
Syntax: reniceall nicevalue name
and also a man page. To install, download the archive
reniceall-0.1.tar.gz,
untar it, and run install.sh in the new directory as root,
or if you don't trust install scripts, look what it does and
copy the files yourself.
