[PLUG] fcheck not nice/ionice?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Ever since upgrading to Wheezy I've noticed that 'fcheck' is not being 
nice/ionice.  When it runs I get lots of messages like this from Monit:
	May  8 18:30:53 ... monit[22027]: '...' loadavg(1min) of 17.4 matches 
resource limit [loadavg(1min)>2.0]


'/etc/cron.d/fcheck' looks like so:
#
# Regular cron job for the fcheck package
#
30 */2  * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/fcheck && if ! nice ionice -c3 
/usr/sbin/fcheck -asxrf /etc/fcheck/fcheck.cfg >/var/run/fcheck.out 
2>&1; then mailx -s "ALERT: [fcheck] `hostname --fqdn`" root 
</var/run/fcheck.out ; /usr/sbin/fcheck -cadsxlf /etc/fcheck/fcheck.cfg 
; fi ; rm -f /var/run/fcheck.out

That seems like it should be "nice" but...it's not.  I have to admit I 
haven't done a lot of homework on this one, but I've Googled a bit. 
Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
