OT: renice jobs running for more than 5 minutes

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I am running a fully updated F23 box but this question does not have much to do with Fedora itself, hence the designator and the disclaimer.

I am wanting to run a script which will look at all the jobs that are running and renice all of them which have been on for more than five minutes. (Then I can run the script as a cron job as root and be done with automating the process.)

Are there any suggestions as to how to go about this task efficiently? Actually, before I reinvent the wheel, are there any standard options that already exist and which would be more suitable for me than just to do everything from scratch.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
