    13 to Change Priority Dynamically</title><shortdesc>This section explains the rules that can be set to change the priority

    14 of an application dynamically.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    15 <p>The OOM Monitor configuration file can contain rules which determine how

    16 the OOM Monitor changes the priority of one or many applications. Changing

    17 the priority is based on the following cases:</p>

    18 <ul>

    19 <li><p>Application's idle time: The OOM Monitor decreases the priority of

    20 an application, if it is idle for a certain period.</p></li>

    21 <li><p>Grouping applications: If an application belonging to a group is in

    22 the foreground, the OOM Monitor protects the rest of the applications belonging

    23 to this group from closing by assigning them a priority higher (than the other

    24 background applications not belonging to this group).</p></li>

    25 </ul>

    26 <p>For information on how to set the priorities and rules in the OOM Monitor

    27 configuration file, refer to <xref href="GUID-178488C1-5453-490F-B168-9D73DB5BAE47.dita">Priority
