Unrar Par2 Priority

[fnord]

Is it possible to start the unrar and par2 process with very low priority, so it doesnt interfere with other jobs on the computer?
i use linux.
the goal is just simple, leaving headroom for more important processes so you dont feel any performance lack (e.g gaming or other things)

SABnzbd already does that.
You can manipulate the parameters of "nice" and "ionice" on Config->Switches.
Disk priority is actually the biggest worry as most systems aren't very good at handling that.
An alternative is to postpone post-processing with the Scheduler.

Thanks for the Informations.
I tried to modify the priority by entering the nice values e.g 10
But then sabnzb stopped working
what kind of values do i have to enter, there is nothing in the wiki, only disk priority but not unrar/par2

The "nice" and "ionice" settings are used to run unrar and par2.
The effect will be very OS and system dependent.
You'll have to experiment.
