Try renice, or if you want more interesting ways to control running processes, try top.

hi,

thanks for the suggestion of using nice.

how ever "nice" is a program which *starts* a program in the said priority. What i want to do, is, to change the priority of a running process *dynamically*. This dynamic decision must be based on the PID of the running process.

I think 'renice' does that...
