[Groovy]

I did a quick search and did a man top and man renice
but I didn't see a way to list all processes priority levels.
(I thought top would have the option but I didn't see one)

please post your fav command to do this


thx

this works

Code:
ps axco "pid ni command"

I still wonder why top doesn't have an option though...

i think maybe its because the nice value doesnt affect OSX as much as the nice value affects, linux for example.

on linux if you set a process to -20 it gets realtime priority, in OSX realtime priority is way "lower" then -20. i think its the same the other way around too, +19 on a linux system is "nicer" to other processes then +19 is on OSX.

if you want realtime priority in OSX i think you need to set it from inside the app needing it, using some MACH system call.
