How can I use renice to set the highest priority to a pid?

Jeff,

Some quotes from the man page:

"Processes with lower system nice values run at higher system priorities than processes with higher system nice values."

"To reduce the system nice value of a process, or to set it to a value less than 20 (with a negative newoffset), a user must have appropriate privileges."

Also take a look at the examples.

Jeff,
also be aware how high/low you want the priority to be. This can have a serious impact on the performance of the rest of the system!
