Priority is the SCHED_FIFO priority value - so it will only work if you are able to set sched fifo (needs the kernel to support and the user to be allowed to use it). If you start with "-d output=debug" you will see if it has taken any effect. Unless you have tuned lots of other processes for this, suggest you just try running as root to get the default value of this (45). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
