Run binary with highest priority

Question

I am running one binary with highest priority like

nice -n -20 binary

Now I want to run same binary such that it runs with high priority without nice -n 20 binary like

 ./binary // runs with high priority same as nice -n -20 binary with any setting

Are there any configurations which says kernel to start process with higher priority when I start binary with ./binary,I don't wont to start binary with nice -n -20 binary every time

So how to do it give your suggestion

you can create alias for it

alias binary='nice -n -20 binary'

after that if you execute binary then it will start with higher priority

Create a script that contains your nice command, and run that instead.

e.g.

echo  nice -n -20 binary > binary2
chmod +x binary2

And then to run it, just do this:

./binary2

I believe you want something like this,

sudo nice -n -20 ./binary

From info coreutils 'nice invocation'

Only a privileged user may run a process with lower niceness:

I'm running this command using root user and its work well but my question is are there any configuration which says kernel to start process with higher priority when I start binary with ./binary, – Rahul R Dhobi Jun 28 '14 at 05:09
what happened now that I need to start binary with nice -n -20 ./binary every time to assign higher priority to it – Rahul R Dhobi Jun 28 '14 at 05:10
Ok fine but is there any other way? – Rahul R Dhobi Jun 28 '14 at 05:15
