[Mingw-users] process priority and niceness

[John R. <web...@te...>]

I don't seem to have the command 'nice' in my msys. Does this command 
exist on msys? Is there something similar I can do to change process 
priority?

I want to run mencoder in the background, but in the lowest possible 
priority. If I use windows task manager to set the process to the lowest 
priority, I can use the machine as needed without noticeable degradation 
(i.e. my web browser is still immediately responsive).

How can I do this from a bourne script in msys?

Thanks,
