Description Michael Lee Yohe 2003-09-15 14:43:08 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030722
Galeon/1.3.8

Description of problem:
This background applet is only designed to occasionally poll the Red Hat server
to see if there are applicable updates to the system.  During this querying
process and comparison with the local machine, the applet can spike (CPU
resources) capturing CPU time from other processes.  Since it is not mission
critical that the applet run at the same priority level as other processes, this
"background" applet should run itself as nice 10 (or whatever deemed to be
appropriate).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-applet-2.0.10-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see description


Actual Results:  Runs at the same level of every other process.

Expected Results:  Runs if there is idle processor time available.
