I'm trying to run ./a.out, but monitored (using mon) and nice'd to highest priority.

Here are the commands separately:

nice -n -20 /home/pi/a.out   //works fine

mon /home/pi/a.out   //works fine

mon nice -n -20 /home/pi/a.out   //doesn't work!

I get an "unrecognized flag -n" error...

How to do this?

Many thanks in advance,

    It seems that mon considers -n as it's own option. I haven't worked with mon, but try putting the command after mon in ''

  • @hnik Yes, you're right. I believe mon thinks the -n is for it. Thanks for that. I'll try the quotes. I'll also try back-ticks.

  • Another variation that will probably work is nice -n -20 mon /home/pi/a.out. In case it isn’t obvious, this differs in effect from what you are trying in that this command will run the mon program at high priority (in addition to your a.out), whereas your command runs mon at default priority, while elevating a.out.
