Very Nice for FC3

[Dario Lesca]

VeryNice is a tool for dynamically adjusting the nice-level of
processes.

... there is a specific (an better) tool for FC3 or I must use this?

Many thanks.

Thanks Alex... But VeryNice is a daemon which make very more than nice:

My question is: I must continue to use verynice or in FC3 is included 
something of similar to use?

Thanks.

You're going to want to continue using VeryNice.  I wouldn't mind
seeing VeryNice looked at for inclusion in Fedora Extras.
