node-priority

This package provides access to the getpriority(2) and setpriority(2) system calls available on OSX, Linux and other UNIX variants. This can be used, for example, to implement the UNIX nice(1) utility.

Usage

var priority = require('node-priority');

priority.set(priority.Process, 0, 10, function(err) {
    if (err)
        throw err;
    priority.get(priority.Process, 0, function(err, prio) {
        console.log('successfully set priority to ' + prio);
    });
});
