I don't use a kill file :)
Unfortunately, I don't always find time to answer questions
on this mailing list.

I'd be happy to add renice to the coreutils, but coming up with
an acceptable version of that program will be tricky.

  - it would have to run on a wide variety of systems

  - it would have to try to be compatible with the various
    vendor-supplied versions of renice.  Someone would have to do
    a survey of what options they all provide (hoping there aren't
    already conflicts) and come up with a reasonable set of desired
    options.
