What's the proper way to start a process ionice'd as realtime but with the resulting process starting as a specific normal user instead of as root? 96.232.39.129 ( talk) 00:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- The
ioniceprogram affects scheduling of I/O in Linux. See the Linux General Commands Manual [1] . Philvoids ( talk) 17:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC)- Where we read "Realtime [...] This scheduling class is not permitted for an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user." Card Zero (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
ionice -c1 su linus -c /bin/whoami will run whoami with real-time IO as user linus
