Actually the nice-concern was in cluster.
I noticed only run .sh a bit heavy staff, the nice level is 19. for
the TTY terminals is 0.
is it possible to deceive the .sh job as TTY terminals. (I should take
blame here cause thinking like this, but ...)
I can't use qsub or mpi here, the thread is the only option I got.
