Hi,
I installed DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/30/09) mini-usb-ftp on my Asus WL500gp v2.
I also installed transmissiond 1.42. When I configure cron for transmission_watchdog,
I can't find "nice" on my system. Anyone give me a clue which package I should install?
Thanks!
I do not have "nice" on my system
Re: I do not have "nice" on my system
None, just edit the script that uses it and get rid of it.
More detail: nice is a command that sets a process priority, whoever wrote the script for transmission_watchdog thought that giving a low priority to the process would be "nice" (pun intended), but its not needed, and as you found out not everybody has it (it comes with coreutils in case you really, really have to have it, except like its help says "your shell may have its own version of nice" so you may also get it if you install bash, perhaps zsh, and other shells, AND change the script's first line to use that shell, i.e. #!/bin/bash).

That's not very nice.
