Forgive me if this has already been discussed. Kernel 2.6.16 has a new scheduling priority SCHED_IDLEPRIO. Currently beagled attempts to run some things using "ionice" but this requires root priviledges. SCHED_IDLEPRIO can be set by the user. Would it be acceptable to change beagled to use this instead of ionice when a 2.6.16 kernel is detected? How about beagled setting itself to this priority when started? -- Pat Double, pat patdouble com "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
