reduce priority of simulation precess (spectre/verilog)

[tritue]

How can I set the default priority of the spectre/verilog process
automatically ?
We have to run renice every time the simulation start to reduce the priority
of the spectre process. Is there an easier way to do it??

This can be done with a cdsenv setting:

spectre.init processPriority int 0

or the SKILL function:

envSetVal("spectre.init" "processPriority" 'int 0)

The number has to be between 0 and 20 - I think 20 is the "nicest" (i.e.
lowest priority), but I can't remember for certain. Look up ipcSetPriority()
in the documentation for more details.

Note, the above will only have an effect before you start an ADE session (I
think).
