What are alternatives to nice and renice commands?

While the nice and renice commands are commonly used in Linux to manage process priority, there are several alternatives that can help achieve similar results. Below are some alternatives that can be used for process scheduling and priority adjustments:

• cpulimit: A command that limits the CPU usage of a process, effectively controlling its scheduling.
• taskset: This command is used to set or retrieve the CPU affinity of a process, which can help optimize performance by assigning tasks to specific CPUs.
• cgroups: Control groups can manage and limit resources (including CPU usage) for processes, which can serve as a more comprehensive solution than simply adjusting priority.
• systemd: If your system uses systemd, you can manage process priorities through service unit files and configure CPU scheduling settings directly in them.

Each of these alternatives offers unique advantages, allowing for enhanced process management and resource allocation tailored to the specific needs of your application or system load.
