# Supernice
Set the I/O-scheduling class, priority and niceness to relaxed values when launching a process.
This was originally a fork of `ionice` from `util-linux`.
Running `supernice` is the equivalent of running both `ionice -c3` and `nice -n20`.
This can be useful to prevent processes from hogging the CPU and the I/O capabilities of a system, with a command that is extremely easy to remember.
If you have ever watched the mouse cursor freeze when compiling a large project, this utility is for you.
## Example use
supernice make
## Requirements
* Linux
* `make`
* A working C compiler, like `gcc`
## Installation
Build
make
Install (use `sudo`, `doas` or run as root):
sudo make install
