SPRIGPL v2

System Priority

Process priority and scheduling management

ⓘ

Documentation is being modernized. Expanded guides, configuration references, and usage examples are on the way.

Overview

System Priority (SPRI) is a tool for managing system process priorities and CPU scheduling on Linux systems.

SPRI allows administrators to define priority rules for processes, ensuring that critical services receive appropriate CPU time while limiting the impact of resource-intensive or lower-priority tasks. It integrates with the Linux nice and scheduling subsystems to provide persistent, rule-based process priority management.

Features
