Setting the underlying platform job priority while running on Linux

[Randall Becker]

I have a situation where the JVM running remoting.jar needs to run at a
lower system priority than the default for the user. Basically, in Linux
terms, I would like to run the equivalent of 'nice' as part of either the
job or preferably the Node's agent startup. I cannot allocate a dedicated
machine for the builds and I've got users whining about the load.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Randall

FWIW, I add the following Prefix under Advanced in the node definition:
nice nice sh -c '
and ' as a suffix. That seemed to do the trick and slow down the whining.
