[Buildbot-devel] Low priority processes on Windows?

[John Pye]

Hi all,

Has anyone looked at the issue of setting buildbot to use low-priority
processes when running as a service on Windows? Or does this happen
automatically?

I want to install a buildbot slave on a shared desktop machine, but I
need to ensure that it causes minimal disruption to users sitting in
front of it.

Any suggestions/experience with this? As far as I recall, there are ways
using the 'cmd' program in Windows to specify process priority, but up
until now I haven't seen see anything like that available through Python.

Cheers
JP
