💖 RPM-PLUGIN-PRIORESET 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for rpm-plugin-prioreset, section 8 of the System Manager's Manual 🎀 it's a plugin for the RPM Package Manager, and its whole job is fixing up daemon priorities on SysV init. yes it's niche. no it's not boring. sit with me 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rpm-plugin-prioreset — a plugin for the RPM Package Manager that fixes issues with priorities of daemons on SysV init 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ in general, scriptlets run with the same priority as rpm(8) itself. that's just the vibe, that's the default, that's fine.

BUT 👀 on legacy SysV init systems? properties of the parent process can get inherited by the actual daemons on restart. it's giving unhinged family trauma but for process attributes 😭 and as a result, daemons may end up with unwanted nice or ionice values. not cute. not the look we were going for.

so what does this plugin do? it resets the scriptlet process priorities after forking, and it can be used to counter that effect. problem → slay → solved 💅✨

⚠️ real talk though: should NOT be used with systemd(1) — it's not needed there, and the effect is straight up counter-productive. like, you'd be actively making things worse. don't do it. i'm begging 🙈

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

there are currently no options for this plugin in particular. like, zero. none. it's a "just let it cook" situation 👑

want to know how to control plugins in general? go read rpm-plugins(8), that's where the general plugin-handling lore lives 📖✨
