2.5 Priority
By default the Director process runs at low priority. On UNIX and VMS systems you can change the priority while the Director is running by entering the following command:
desta priority [compete | low]Where compete assigns the Director a normal priority and low assigns the Director a low priority.
On OpenVMS systems, this command issues the SET PROCESS /PRIORITY command. The operating system may change the priority of any process at any time, and may not change the priority when the SET PROCESS /PRIORITY command is issued. Therefore, the desta command may not change the priority of the DESTA Director process. It functions more like a suggestion to the operating system rather than a command.
