Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
I want background scripts to get lower priority on a web server than CGI scripts. To do this, it seems that I want to manipulate the "nice number" for the background script processes. I worked out a chunk of code to get the PID of the current process (starting with "path to me") and eventually get to set the_result to do shell script ("renice +4 " & the_pid) This seems to work, but "the_result" doesn't seem to receive the text normally associated with a terminal-window renice, something like 2636: old priority 0, new priority 4 I don't absolutely need this if I'm willing to trust that it works, but I got to wondering... where's that text going (in the case of do shell script)? I thought do shell script returned the text written to std_out ? - brian johnson (battling low priority to-do lists by night)
