Is there a good way to make a certain program to launch with a negative nice value? Running an infinite loop with seep, pgrep and renice does'n sound like a good solution. May be there is an extended attribute/kernel module/socket that sets nice value and may be other limits each time exec with SGID/SUID is triggered, or at least outputs something, so I can manually run renice on this event? My current solution is adding this line to sudoers:
vftdan ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/nice -n -4 /usr/bin/sudo -u vftdan /usr/bin/compton *
@vftdan If the program can be run under a different account or group, limits.conf can help.
