[SOLVED] Control CPU usage

[therunningotaku]

Hello!
I'm new to Linux, and I've recently set up a Minecraft Server running on a MicroCoreLinux box.
It's running pretty well, but I think I'll set up a CUPS print server for my parent's printer on there as well as possibly a FTP server on the same machine.
As I don't want my Minecraft server(s) to lag, I was wondering if there was a way to control the CPU usage of a single program or process in the MicroCore machine and if so how I could use it to control multiple programs?
The Server's running in a screen tab so i can type commands into the console even though the server's running.

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at the "nice" and "renice" commands? I haven't used them much myself, bit I think that they are supposed to control process priority.

Thanks a lot!
I'll give it a go
