Automatically re-nice long-running processes Mark Unseen   Aug 22 17:11 UTC 2007

I need a program to automatically re-nice user processes that have
consumed more than a certain amount of CPU time.  Poking around, I've
found 'reniced', which re-nices by process name, but that's not quite
what I want.

Before I hack something up in Perl, can anyone suggest a package that
does this?  It seems like something that would be fairly commonly wanted
on multiuser systems.

I also asked on the Debian list, and someone came up with "and" (auto
renice daemon), which looks like it will do what I want.

Are you as obnoxious and arrogant in person as you are online?

Re: #3. If he is, I doubt he will be for long. Unless he's rich.

(And he wouldn't get rich by continually posting crap on grex, that's for
sure.)

Could people please ignore twits?  I have filtered responses 2 and 4 but now
I have to read reactions to them.

#5:  I was actually thinking that if he is, it's no wonder he has to
download porn.  :D

You might want to be cautious about this and either whitelist known good
 daemons or ignore anything being run by a service-account. Otherwise,
you  might wind up cratering SSHD, locking veryone out, and preventing
yourself  from fixing.  -DTK
