Description Forza 2023-05-21 09:06:11 UTC

start-stop-daemon supports setting /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj using either the flag --oom-score-adj or the ENV variable SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ

It would be nice if Gentoo/OpenRC would check conf.d files for SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ and set this variable for the service.

SSD supports the following ENV variables:


SSD_IONICELEVEL
SSD_NICELEVEL
SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ
SSD_STARTWAIT

I notice that some packages implement their own "NICE", "NICELEVEL", etc in conf.d. A better way would be that OpenRC handled this in an official way. All four variables could be handled in the same way.
