Hello all,
the load on the login-server (nightshade) is quite high at the moment. One of the problems, that cause this, is that people don't use nice. The nice-level tells an operation system how important a program is and how much cpu-power it should get (to simplify it).
I didn't know. Is it there in the Toolserver guide?
Normal user can set a nice-level between 0 and 19. 0 is the highest, 19 the lowest value. The default is 0. Longrunning tasks like bots should use a low nice-level like 10. The usage is quite easy. Just put a "nice -n 10" before your command. An example would be
nice -n 10 python redirect.py broken
which runs the program python (that executes the redirect-script) at nice-level 10.
I've niced a lot of scripts of mine to 10. Hope this helps. :-)
Thanks for your attention :).
Sincerly, DaB. _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l
