Hi - stupid query for future development.
I realize I could probably nice these jobs, even from cron, would
it be worth having a switch that, I don't know, changed the number
of dump threads based on time-of-day ?
Something like "After 5am only allow 2 active rather than 4 active dumpers ?"
Is there anyother, better, smarter way to reduce amanda load on
the system automatically ? I'm not certain that nice will allow
the tasks to complete, where as having few tasks at the default
cpu priority might.
