The nice field went away in one of the later 2.4 kernels. It is recorded
in the eoj accounting record. If you are not concerned with filtering
based upon process niceness, then you should be able to get by with
eoj.ac_nice = 0;
This will ensure you are not recording invalid data. Alternatively, you
could look at the 2.6 series of patches and backport how it was done there.
I believe you need to change it to something with task_nice(current), but
it has been a long time since I looked at that code.
Good Luck,
Robin
