Adjusting priority of services

Sure is.

If Apache is setup as a service, open Task Manager, select the Process tab, right-click the service, choose Set Priority and select the Priority you want.

Is that what you're looking for??

Cheers,

No.

Even if this were acceptable Apache doesn't allow for it's priority to be changed while it's running.

But the key here is that I DON'T want to have to LOG IN and modify settings every time I turn it on. I want to boot and sit at a logon prompt with all these priorities adjusted automatically.

For that matter, how can I start ANY program with a default "LOW" priority?

Thanks
James

create a batchfile with following content:
start /low c:\programm\programm.exe



run start /? at the command prompt to see all available parameters.

Cool!

start /realtime notepad is useful :)

But then, tell me why this gives me a command prompt ?

start /abovenormal "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"

:p

not sure about that, but since the execution of the command is:

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
      [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
      [/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
      [parameters]

i think, your path is interpreted as a "title".

Try

start /D"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player" /abovenormal wmplayer.exe

Ok I will experiment some more with this.

But the initial problem with adjusting the services still remains.
