hi,
i got multiple processes running on my system, whose process id's (PID) can be known by "ps".
My query is .... can we increase and/or decrease the priority of these processes "dynamically", so that i can choose which process gets the maximum and which one gets the minimum CPU TIME.
best of luck.
