Package: killer
Version: 0.90-8
Severity: important

Although no documentation is present in /usr/share/killer, I did get
from the description of the package that if I want to run a script in
background on a system where killer is been ran from a cron script, I
have two options:
a) install and use "condor"
b) increase the niceness of the process.

However the second does not seem to work. Here is how I reproduce:

0) you must have on your system at least 1 user (let's call it
"someuser") not currently logged in, plus root
1) in a virtual terminal (but _not_ inside the desktop environment), log
in as root
1a) verify that the root user results as logged if you run "w"
2) give the command "sudo -u someuser nice -n 1 sleep 100"
2a) verify that everything is as expected with "ps -u someuser -U
someuser l"
3) in another terminal, run "sudo killer"

Result: the process is killed (if there is a lesson to take, being nice
doesn't help with killers).

If you add to this that option a) is not available to ordinary users,
this becomes annoying.

Is there something I'm missing? Or was there a change in ps output that
killer was not warned about?
