Setting high priority to process
I have run very sensitive programs that act as a server for clients. Since I use so many resources, whenever I do something extensive like using a find + a xargs grep command sometimes it will cause a few of the servers to disconnect.
What is the easiest way to prevent this besides not running the commands? Is there any way I can tell linux to have the highest priority to those servers?
