I wonder if someone could point me to the appropriate docs for my question? If I would like to cause my system to always start 'smbd' processes at priority 7 for example, how would I go about doing that.
I'm assuming there's a better way than running a cronjob every minute to renice existing processes.
I'd appreciate some help pointing me in the right direction.
