- I think that what was probably meant was a way to automatically have
- NetBSD set the priority of a task to a particular value (a particular
- nice value?) when that task is started. I don't think that this is a
- standard feature in most UNIX flavors. Of course, maybe an alias
- could be set up for the command that automatically runs it under a
- particular nice value. I have done something similar to this with the
- two system useage monitoring programs that I use at work.
