Is there a Windows equivalent of the Unix command, nice?
I’m specifically looking for something I can use at the command line, and not the ‘Set Priority’ menu from the task manager.
My attempts at finding this on Google have been thwarted by those who can’t come up with better adjectives.
If you want to set priority when launching a process you could use the built-in START command:
Use the low through belownormal options to set priority of the launched command/program. Seems like the most straightforward solution. No downloads or script writing. The other solutions probably work on already running procs though.
