With your command only boinc starts with nice 19, and boinc starts the app it with nice 19. Try a renice -n PRIORIY $PID_OF_THE_SETI_APP. Why will you start it with a higher priority ? ID: 168957 · |

Try a renice -n PRIORIY $PID_OF_THE_SETI_APP. to make sure its not overlayed by other progs running this maschie iss for seti and nothing else...... but somtimes it happens that a friend whats to work on it so running boinc with 0 iss fine and gehts not pushed back like with 19 greets AXT ID: 169737 · |

you would have to renice the seti program, not boinc, but i believe you will have to also renice it every time it starts a wu since the thread respawns. however i recall that there might be an xml setting somewhere you can set that governs nice level, but i cant seem to find it in any of my files ID: 170754 · |
