Can I set PowerShell 'Start-Job' with low priority?

powershell start-job

I used this trick right in a job's code (it can be optional, controlled by a parameter):

[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.Priority = 'Lowest'

Available priority values: Lowest, BelowNormal, Normal, AboveNormal, Highest

powershell start-job

If you have launched it then you can use this:

 $a = gps powershell $a.PriorityClass = "BelowNormal"

Or you can use this using the key:

 Get-WmiObject Win32_process -filter 'name = "notepad.exe"' | foreach-object { $_.SetPriority(32) }

The priority codes are as follows:

 256 REALTIME 128 HIGH_PRIORITY 32768 ABOVE_NORMAL 32 NORMAL 16384 BELOW_NORMAL 64 IDLE
