Is there a way to nice the remote end of an ssh or scp session? I aske because I have two machines. One can fill a 100 Mbps pipe even enrypting for scp. However, the other is CPU bound and maxes out at 7 MBps (or ~60 Mbps). I usually initiate connections from the more powerful machine to the less powerful machine. I would like to know if I can do this on a per connection basis. All the information that I have found talks about nicing sshd (and by extension all of its child processes). However, I am in interested in a per connection solution. Is there a switch to ssh (that is not in the documentation) or an incantation that will have the remote end of the connection run at a lower priority or renice itself after starting? -- Roberto C.
