- We tried to run heavy batchjobs with max nicefactor (eq. 20) and
- limited the RSS by setting the default RSS variable in
- /etc/security/limits file, so that the interactive grafical user
- could do his work more or less unotified of the batch runs (we
- hoped).
-
- However in 3.1.5 this didn't work satisfactory, and we had to
- dedicate this machine for grafical use (RS/6000 mod 550) and I
- heard that neither the low priority nor the RSS limit was
- implemented properly.
-
- However is there any reasen that it work o.k. now in 3.2?
-
- Anybody.
