Yes but sometimes their kids just talk forever, or they themselves just ignore the reality that their time has come, and we've got places to be. So the nice request comes with a deadline.
And don't push your luck or I'll go get Mr. Sysrq Reisub.
On the other hand, the OOM killer is worst of all: "kill process or sacrifice child."
be nice
What niceness level exactly?
The most nice I can be in my system is -20.. but being too nice to one process leaves others with less time and resources in their life.I wouldn't ever imagine to shed a tear for the processes I have killed in my whole life. I feel like a homicidal maniac.
Some advice for process parents. Don't be that kinda process that zombifies your children instead of letting them go, it's very annoying and unhealthy.
