- Normally, children processes inherit most important properties
- from their parents.
- If I have a shell started with a 'npri...' command, its
- children inherit the non degrading priority as they should.
- If one uses this shell and starts a job with cvusage like
- cvusage myjob
- then myjob does not seem to inherit the non-degrading process
- priority.
- Amusingly, the cvusage process itself seems to keep the
- non-degrading process priority.
-
- This seems like silly behaviour.
- Is it intentional ?
- This is all happening under irix 4.0.5.
