Message-ID: <170@terak.UUCP> Date: Wed, 10-Oct-84 13:04:18 EDT Article-I.D.: terak.170 Posted: Wed Oct 10 13:04:18 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 13-Oct-84 01:12:27 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Terak Corporation, Scottsdale, AZ, USA Lines: 24 We have started to notice a problem with some people's login csh being reniced. Since we always have a few processes running, these people's terminal appears to be dead. By reniceing the csh to 0, the terminal becomes alive again, and renice reports the old priority as 19. Is there some thing in 4.1 bsd that renices people when the system load gets too high? or do we have a malicious user who is fiddling with people's priority. (I once looked thru lastcomm, and found that no one had executed the renice command.) Look forward to any info on the subject sohail -- Sohail Hussain uucp: ...{decvax,hao,ihnp4,seismo}!noao!terak!sohail phone: 602 998 4800 us mail: Terak Corporation, 14151 N 76th street, Scottsdale, AZ 85260
