SUMMARY: Programs started from cron have a nice value of 2 (not 0)

QUESTION/PROBLEM:

I have an ES80 with Tru64 Unix V5.1B. I've set up a small shell script
which runs out of cron and, if the script detects that a particular
executable isn't running, it starts it. The script is shown below.

The weird and very problematic thing is that it consistently starts it
with a nice value of 2. I have to "renice" it back to 0.

ANSWER:

Much thanks to Whitney Latta for this response:

You might want to check the queuedefs(4) file (/var/adm/cron/queuedefs)
for a "nice" value which is used for all non-zero uid jobs started by
cron. See the queuedefs(4) man page for details.

As it turns out, the following entry did the trick nicely:
