What other possible reason's would there be for a processes 'nice' value to change from 0 to 2. So far I have found the following information...
1. A newly-created process inherits the nice value of it's parent process.
2. The owner of the process can increase it's nice value but cannot lower it, even to return the process to the default nice value.
3. The kernel will automatically boost the nice value of processes that have accumulated "excessive" CPU time or that have been put in the background.
4. "bgnice" option in the korn shell which makes all background jobs run at a lower priority. This is the default mode."
Anything else other than going thru the applications code for possibly a 'nice' setting being made in it ?
Thanks,
