Re: Automatically renicing a process

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

you can modify the start command to renice the process, for example:

  check process myproc with pidfile /var/run/myproc.pid
      start program = "/bin/bash -c '/etc/init.d/myproc start && 
/usr/bin/renice +1 `cat /var/run/myproc.pid`'"


Regards,
Martin
