Always running makepkg as if `nice -19 makepkg -s` [SOLVED]

Subject says it all.  Short of an alias or script, how can I get makepkg to run with a nice level of 19?

I want to learn how Linux sets the default nice level.  For example, on my workstation at home:
In that case shouldn't your thread ask that question rather than specify makepkg?
(and no, I have no idea what the answer is, but the thread title and location probably won't bring it to the attention of those interested in such things. A quick google tells me its related to your user)

    John,
    I'd pay good money to bet it wouldn't last 5 years... I don't rate the in built power supply and as for "server grade hard disk" - Hmmmm..... The failure rate of all HD's on the market after 3 year is 60%.

    Could you share a link to the page?
    Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
    If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

  • Windows Vista Boot Camp always running

    I just recently purchased a macbook air ( 1.86, 128gb ssd) and I've been extremely happy with it. I was wondering if people have noticed that the fan is always running when using Vista but not in OS X?
    Is there a solution?

    I have the same machine with Vista running via Boot Camp and Fusion. Although the fan does run more frequently than when running Mac o/s, it certainly doesn't run "all the time" as you report.
    Note, however, that I only use Vista for occasional browsing with Explorer and to run one app for which there is no Mac alternative; could be that it's the app you're running that makes the fan more active?

  • Fan is alway running on my new dv7-4290us. Should I exchange for a new one or is this normal?

    I just got my new dv7-4290us from the HP store and after a little while of playing with it, I noticed that the fan seems to always be running. It's not spinning very fast, just kind of a soft blowing or purring sound but audible for sure. Is this normal for this notebook or notebooks with quad cores and dedicated graphics? I called HP tech support and asked them if it was normal for the fan to run all the time, but they where kind of clueless with, 3 different guys giving me 3 different answers. I did mess around with some power management settings and the HP Thermal program but that didn't help. Turning off the fan always on setting in the bios just causes the fan to blow up every 20 seconds, so that is not a solution. There wasn't a bios update on the driver page, so I don't know about that as a fix. Otherwise everything seems to be functioning properly with no BSOD or lockups so far.  The computer doesn't seem to be running hot (core temps stay under 50°c under light load) and the fan doesn't sound unhealthy like it has a bad bearing or anything. I just want to know if the fan always running at a low speed thing is normal on these machines. From my expereince with notebooks the fan alway running is a sign that your system is not cooling properly, so I wanted to get a second opinion from fellow users before I go through the hastle of exchanging this for a new one.

    Does this happen on AC power only?  There maybe an option in BIOS for 'Fan always on while on AC power'.

  • Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

    I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain.  But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time.  Does anybody knows the answer? 
    And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain.  In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used?   If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top.  If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right? 
    Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

    Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain.  If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...".  There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER.  If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time.  If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once? 
    As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job.  These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed.  You also have control over frequency.  These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
    When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain.  BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked.  All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_...  If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains.  Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains. 
    Does this help?
    Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64).  If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

  • Fan always running on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W)

    The fan on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W) seems to be always running (and it's not quiet). I believe I'm running the latest BIOS and I've already checked to make sure the air vents are clear. I'm not running any memory or processor intensive applications. Any suggestions how to reduce how long and frequently the fan seems to be running? Thanks.

    Hello @jmgoldsmith,
    I understand that you are having issues with the fan always running on your HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000 Desktop PC. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer the number you provided is not a product number (example : HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000t CTO Desktop PC has a product number of BN997AV). I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Please re-post with the requested information and I would be happy to provide you with assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Helix Fans in keyboard portion ALWAYS running at full speed

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone from Lenovo support (or a fellow user) could recommend a Lenovo sponsored solution for the problem regarding the fan in the keyboard tray always running at full speed on the Helix? I know there are a bunch of 3rd party fan control solutions out there, but some users have cautioned that they cause unexpected touch screen problems.
    When I use my Helix to remote login to other computers, the fans in the keyboard dock slow down and stop, and the noise difference is incredible. It would be so much better if the Helix was always that quite...
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    bgiles9091,
    We've had fan feedback for a while in the forum on helix.  All of the samples here perform as expected, so to revisit the issue we may need a sample from a customer.
    I would also ensure you are at the latest BIOS and power management driver levels, and have installed the firmware update on your keyboard dock. 
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Fan always running due to Dashboard

    I noticed lately that my fan is always running so I opened up activity manager and saw that dashboard was using 80% and was not responding. I forced closed it and the same thing happened. It's happening as I write this.
    Is there a way to disable dashboard? How can I make this stop? The battery is running out so fast because of this...
    Thanks

    Sounds like you have a problem with one of your widgets. Have you downloaded/installed any new ones recently? Have you downloaded and installed any updates for your computer?
    Rather than killing dashboard, make a note of what widgets are running. Close all of them (to do this, click the + icon in the lower left corner, then click the X on the widget you want to close.
    If the CPU usage decreases after closing the widgets, you can then relaunch them one at a time and observe the CPU usage. The widgets are in these folders: Macintosh HD>Library>Widgets
    Macintosh HD>Users>yourusername>Library>Widgets
    It sounds to me like one of your widgets is stuck & that's causing the issues.

  • PowerBook running warm/hot & fans almost always running

    Does anyone else have their fan(s) constantly running? I can be doing something as simple as checking my e-mail on a flat table like surface and before I know it both fans are running. Back a couple years ago Apple replaced my fan under the screen under AppleCare, now it is buzzing again and being out of AppleCare coverage I'm not rushing to have it replaced. Any ideas why my book's fans are always running? Anyone else have this?

    Hi, PBJohn. Assuming for the moment that your hardware is working properly and your fans are running to remedy an excessive heat buildup, plausible reasons for the heat might include:
    1. accumulated dust and crud inside the Powerbook, obstructing the fans and/or the cooling airways;
    2. multiple CPU-intensive processes running at once, including processes running in the background that you've forgotten or never known about;
    3. insufficient heat-transfer paste between the processor and the heat sink;
    4. lack of routine maintenance and periodic cache cleanup;
    5. an overly full hard drive;
    There are probably others I'm forgetting, but this list gives you some things to check.
    For 1, flip back the keyboard and blow the interior out with compressed air, then remove the bottom panel and do the same to the underside of things. Make sure the air intake and outlet vents are unobstructed.
    For 2, open Activity Monitor and see what's running. If you have Tiger installed, turn off Widgets — they're incredibly CPU-intensive. Drive indexing can also consume a lot of CPU cycles and produce constant hard drive activity.
    3 is quite unlikely, unless you've dismantled the Powerbook and separated the processor and heat sink yourself, wiping off the transfer paste and then forgetting to apply any when reassembling.
    For 4, run the background maintenance tasks manually and/or download Onyx and use it to run them and clean the various caches.
    Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
    For 5, make sure your hard drive has at least 3GB and preferably at least 5GB of free space available at all times.
    If you check on all these things and still can't reduce the constant operation of your fans, you may have a hardware problem.

  • Cron jobs not always run

    I have cron jobs which do not always run. Has anyone had this problem. These are simple executables which may run one day, but not the next. Very puzzling.

    (and so far still the same in 10.4.4 I think):

  • Init always runs twice in startup of deployed web app

    i have a problem where I load a servlet upon startup using the <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> in the web.xml .. it always runs the init method twice.. this is problematic for me. when i deploy my app as a WAR, it always does this.. but if i don't deploy and just run it off docroot, it only runs it once.... what is going on here?

    Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the same problem and cannot find the answer.
