Is there not any commands to check it ?

You can see the priority of each command using the -f option in ps. If you want to see the processes sorted by CPU usage, just run the command: top. NOTE: unless the processes are not doing any I/O (disk, network), there isn't a lot you can do to give more resources to one process versus another. The priority will be changing several times each second. Now if this is a real problem, you need to look at Process Resource Manager (PRM), a priced product from HP.

You can use top and ps command to see various stats of I/O,cpu memory utilization.
To change priority use "nice" command.

nice(1) only works at the start. If you want to change it later use renice(1):
$ renice -n 20 PID
