[Bug 527639] Re: boinc should use chrt instead of schedtool

[Daniel Hahler]

This makes sense to me.

I've started to change this.

Shortcomings: "chrt -p $PID" will not display niceness.
PID 12161: PRIO   0, POLICY D: SCHED_IDLEPRIO, NICE  19, AFFINITY 0x3
vs
pid 12161's current scheduling policy: SCHED_IDLE
pid 12161's current scheduling priority: 0

What's the best way to get niceness of a given process?

Also, chrt does not accept multiple PIDs at once, so a loop is necessary
(which I've abstracted into chrt_many function).

Apart from this, it works as expected. See the attached patch.
