HP-UX process starts with nice 25

[marcel]

Hi all, can ayone please confirm, that Zabbix agentd starts with nice 25 on HPUX - we are unable to set a different 'nice' value to the agent - HPUX starts processes with nice=20 by default, so im not sore why is this happening.

Thanks for any kind of information,
Marcel

Linux too

I have the same problem here with Linux CentOS 5.6. Nice level is 5 here:

# ps -el | grep zabbix

F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
1 S 450 17081 1 0 90 5 - 691 wait ? 00:00:00 zabbix_agentd
1 S 450 17083 17081 0 82 5 - 691 - ? 00:00:00 zabbix_agentd
1 S 450 17084 17081 0 80 5 - 695 - ? 00:00:00 zabbix_agentd

In the source code there is no reference to nice(2).....

Have you solved this question?

in src/libs/zbxnix/daemon.c:

#ifdef HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_SETPRIORITY
   if (0 != setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0, 5))
      zbx_error("Unable to set process priority to 5. Leaving default.");
#endif

yes, they start on my servers with nice value 25 too.

Hey, tell me, btw, which agent version are you running on your hpux servers ? I'm running version 1.8.3 and i'm having quite some trouble with getting them to work properly.
