Hi,

I would like to change the priority of Vbox applications, I modified /etc/defaults/boinc-client to the values of:
BOINC_NICE_APP_DEFAULT = 19
BOINC_NICE_CLIENT = 10
to set them to 0 but that does not change after reloading boinc, I also put:
SCHEDULE = "0"
How to do ?

You could try to set <no_priority_change> to 1 in cc_config.xml options.

0 (zero) is the default. 1 means: don't change priority of applications and the applications will run at the same priority as boinc.exe

I see on my Ubuntu VM, that boinc.exe runs with nice 10

Ok but that doesn't change anything ...
