“Be nice to your computers and examine some general guidelines for tuning server performance. A computer is like an employee who does tasks for you – it’s a good idea to keep from overburdening them. One way to keep this from happening is to carefully tune the processes that run on it. The UNIX nice command is useful for doing just that.”
Nice article.
I can’t agree. This article is just a joke.
Call it “performance tuning” for a FAQ on the nice and renice command is a shame.
Eh, fair beginner’s article. It’s hard to judge an article without knowing its intended audience.
I’m pretty sure the osnews.com readership wasn’t its intended audience.
