Bug#101343: ITP: and -- Auto Nice Daemon
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
The auto nice daemon activates itself in certain intervals and renices
jobs according to their priority and CPU usage. Jobs owned by root are
left alone. Jobs are never increased in their priority.
The renice intervals can be adjusted as well as the default nice level
and the activation intervals. A priority database stores user/group/job
tuples along with their renice values for three CPU usage time ranges.
Negative nice levels are interpreted as signals to be sent to a process,
triggered by CPU usage; this way, Netscapes going berserk can be killed
automatically. The strategy for searching the priority database can be
configured.
AND also provides network-wide configuration files with host-specific
sections, as well as wildcard/regexp support for commands in the
priority database.
