On a long emerge I wish to do something like:
nice -n 5 emerge -auvDN world
The python process runs at a nice value of 5 that way, but the compiler
(and anything else called by emerge) doesn't :P
Any way I can achieve what I want? |

Look up "PORTAGE_NICENESS" in /etc/make.conf. Not sure it does what you want
though.

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome. |

Have you set the PORTAGE_NICENESS ? Think that could override your nice
command when it comes to the compiler.

Thanks pk and J.O. Aho. It was an RTFM matter 
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_nice_and_PORTAGE_NICENESS).
It does exactly what I want  |
