Description Joseph D. Wagner 2011-11-15 08:29:00 UTC 
Created attachment 533705 [details]
Patch to implement described behavior.

Currently, the daemon() function within /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions supports adding a line NICELEVEL=x into /etc/sysconfig/foo as a way of setting the daemon's CPU niceness.  However, there is currently no support for setting a daemon's IO niceness.

A sysadmin, such as myself, may want to throttle a daemon's IO niceness without throttling its CPU niceness.

The attached patch implements this functionality.  It tested successfully on my machine.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-11-16 18:55:26 UTC 
Given the advent of systemd support for system services, I'm inclined to leave this as something done there.
