Dear R users:

I am doing parallel computing by the SNOW package on Linux workstations.
According to the university's policy, one has to set a "nice" value of at
least 10 (Initiating R with the command *nice -n 10 R* does the job) for a
long-running process, to lower its priority.

The problem I have is though I can set a "nice" value for R in the mater, I
don't know how it can be done in the slaves. All R processes in the slaves
have to be niced before they start.

Can anyone help me with this? I'd appreciate it.

Best,
Zhongyi
