Re: [SLE] how beagled is scheduled to run?

Hello. I have an X terminal server ... as perhaps everybody already
knows because I keep asking stupid questions... Sometimes beagled and
its related process (e.g. parse-metadata) suddenly come up and take
everybody by surprise by taking 100% CPU resource and slowing everything
down.

Desktop search has penalties. Just sort your files properly and you don't
need it :)

If I configure my Control Center to stop beagle from indexing my file,
that is fine, but is there a way to remove it for all users? Emm, remove
beagle package?


This keeps 10 minutes and everybody decide to get a coffee.
Usually every user's beagled process start together.

What I didn't find on google is how to change
scheduling

`ionice` command and syscall.

Ah, okay, admitted, I used wrong term, mislead by Windows' terminology
"Task Scheduler" which is used like cron in Linux. For other newbies on
this list: "scheduler" in linux is about how kernel give away CPU
resource.


Besides, removing beagle completely from cron is stupid, because beagle
is useful, it simply decided to work in wrong time.

Given that it runs _a long time_ (even longer than updatedb), it may happen
that it always runs at the wrong time.

Best approach: how about SuSE design it in this way? That "beagled only
starts if load average in the past 10 minute is lower then 0.5
(configurable)". This gives beagled a smart brain, it can even start
itself in launch time when noticed nobody used the desktop for a while.

As for me, beagle should only be run if the user explicitly allowed it. So
much for starting beagle 15 minutes after the initial install just
completed.
