rpm-plugin-prioreset - Man Page

Plugin for the RPM Package Manager to fix issues with priorities of daemons on SysV init

Description

In general scriptlets run with the same priority as rpm(8) itself.​ However on legacy SysV init systems, properties of the parent process can be inherited by the actual daemons on restart.​ As a result daemons may end up with unwanted nice or ionice values.​ This plugin resets the scriptlet process priorities after forking, and can be used to counter that effect.​ Should not be used with systemd(1) because it'​s not needed there, and the effect is counter-productive.​

Configuration

There are currently no options for this plugin in particular.​ See rpm-plugins(8) on how to control plugins in general.​
