Hi, I am experimenting with the scheduler on Linux 2.4.X (Red Hat 7.3) and am unable to get processes to time share with the SCHED_RR policy. They seem to operating in a FIFO manner even when their scheduler is set to Round Robin. Does you know if Round Robin scheduling works on linux 2.4X? Also, there is some behavior that I observe that might help understand what's happening. When I do a ps after I start prot (the main program), I see two processes with name prot. So it probably means that the child never got execed. I tried putting in a sched_yield() within the fork() of the parent but that didn't help either. The parent still kept going on. When I put a sleep(1) in the fork() of the parent, the child gets to run but never gives control back to the parent. Any ideas? Enclosed are my test progs.
with thanks, Madhav <<child.c>> <<prot.c>>
