The reniced package is not a daemon but still potentially useful

I recently tried the reniced package only to find that it isn’t a daemon at all as is indicated by its name ending in “d”. It’s too bad because if it was it could be useful. It could always be called frequently from cron in order to have a system that continuously adjusts the niceness of running processes. The config file is pretty nice as it’s just a list of a nice level pair with a regular expression to match against the list of processes. This can be useful to change the niceness of processes launched without any other mechanism for controlling the nice level. I found that running firefox and kvm with a niceness of 10 can keep either from making the rest of the system too unresponsive.
