[TriLUG] Setting thread scheduling policy

[P. L. Charles Fischer]

I have a program that works great as long as I can set the thread 
scheduling policy to real time round robin (SCHED_RR), and set the thread 
priority. I can do this as super user, but would like a non-su to be able 
to run the program as well.

So the question is can I set the default scheduling policy to round robin? 
Or can I give a program or user the ability to set scheduling policy and 
priority without giving it/them full su privileges? I come from the VMS 
world where this is easy, but have not had to do it in Linux yet.

I am running RH 9.0 on a duel 800 MHz P-III system.

Thanks
Charles Fischer
