     if [ ! -x "`which ionice 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
       log_progress_msg "ionice not found,"
     else
-      ionice -c 3 -p $pid
-      log_progress_msg "idle,"
+      if ionice -c 3 -p $pid 2>/dev/null; then

+        log_progress_msg "idle not allowed,"
+      fi
     fi

If ionice fails does this always means that "ioprio_set" is not allowed? If 
the answer to this question is no, I would rather suggest to echo a more 
generic message like "ionice failed," or something similar.

If you want to, you can commit this into boinc's trunk.

Cheers,
