| |
Hello,
I've been unable to find any rational logical complete answer to the following question.
In Linux non-privileged users are able to increase their own processes nice value but they are not allowed to decrease it back to 0.
To me this does not make any sense because, even if that's some kind of very old policy/rule from old UNIXes, the user can still simply restart their processes to get to the coveted 0.
What's the rationale behind this seemingly illogical and easily circumventable limitation/restriction?
Best regards, Artem
