This project uses BOINC wrapper, so I tried to add `<priority>3</priority>` to job.xml file. Unfortunately this did not help, `ps -u boinc -l` shows that both wrapper and cgminer are still on the lowest priority like other tasks. I am not sure if this is some bug or wrapper used by BU does not support this tag (wrapper file is named wrapper_26014_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).\r\n\r\nI also found that it is not possible to modify priority for apps which uses BOINC library to talk directly to BOINC Client, there are no similar tag for use in app_config.xml and app_info.xml. It would be good to add one, sometimes it may be needed.\r\n\r\nI use BOINC 7,7,0 on Linux CentOS 7."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc/issues/comments/258635847","html_url":"https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1698#issuecomment-258635847","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc/issues/1698","id":258635847,"user":{"login":"JuhaSointusalo","id":15806192,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15806192?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo","html_url":"https://github.com/JuhaSointusalo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JuhaSointusalo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-05T19:40:39Z","updated_at":"2016-11-05T19:40:39Z","body":"@sirzooro Are you running the client at idle priority?\r\n\r\nOn Unixes normal users can only lower the priority of the programs they run.
