Service Priority
 

Does anybody know how to set the priority for a service thats started automatically? Or are 'SYSTEM' processes automatically placed higher then other processes? I can't seem to be able to change system process priorities...is there any parameter i can assign it to make it of 'high' priority.

Thanks

Don't think it can be done. What OS are you using?

Why would you want to?

Xp Pro.

I've got ventrilo (VO-IP program) server set up as a service, so it just runs in the background all the time with out the console open, now with that open it would default to high usage in the task manager.

Would like it to take priority with its small usage when in game when they take/reserve the majority of my CPU.

As i can't set it higher being a 'system' run thing, surely there is a parameter i can add to make it of higher class?

You can set the priority of processes in task manager, but no control over services afaik.

Not what you want to do though. :shrug:

Yes, it doesn't really make sense to me to have a service assigned a priority - a service is either running or not. As bonzoe says, it's the individual processes that you'd assign a priority to.
