Bug 175397 – add support for setting nice value via conf.d/env on a per-ssd/init.d basis

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Mattie 2007-04-20 23:30:34 UTC]

ntpd is a critical component, it is nice to be able to set a priority level.
The patch is a single line injection of a start-stop-daemon parameter with
NTPD_NICELEVEL which defaults to 0


Reproducible: Always

add nice priority level to ntpd.rc

this isnt ntpd specific at all ... we'd want a generic solution here ...

something like "ssd should utilize RC_SSD_NICE if its set" and then every init.d script using ssd would get automatic support for this

in /etc/conf.d/ntpd or /etc/conf.d/sshd
export SSD_NICELEVEL=19

Will set the priority of sshd or ntpd accordingly. This works for any service started by start-stop-daemon in baselayout-2.0.0_alpha2

Fixed in baselayout-2.0.0_alpha2
