Just started using SecureCRT 4.0 and it shows the server idle % the higer the better right and if it goes down to 0% the server is out of power?

I'd assume that would mean 100% of the processing power is in use if there was 0% idle. So yes, the higher percent idle the better.

From the nice manpage:

nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority

SYNOPSIS
nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...]

DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with an adjusted scheduling priority. With no COMMAND, print the current scheduling priority. ADJUST is 10
by default. Range goes from -20 (highest priority) to 19 (lowest).



I think that says it all, and says it best...
