Nice levels

[Chip Seraphine]

I run my cfexecd's and cfservd's at nice level 15 so that when they launch a 
cfagent on a production box the agent doesn't use too much CPU.  That's all 
well and good, but when my processes: section restarts something it, too 
starts at nice level 15.  Having your mysqld running at such a low priority 
is not a good thing!!

Anybody else had to deal with this?  Any ideas or suggestions?

(For the record, the priority level is to keep some real-time sensitive 
systems from having to give up more than a point or two of CPU.  It's a 
fairly inflexible external requirement, so I can't just up the nice level of 
the daemons.)
