Setting a running process priority

Pretty basic stuff here - I've never mucked around that much with changing
Unix process priorities. I was surprised that the nice command doesn't
accept a pid, which would allow someone with appropriate permissions (root)
to change the priority of a running process. On the other hand the
setpriority() system call would seem to allow this to be done if I were to
write some simple C code.

I'm I pretty much on target here?

thanks,

Chris
