rtsched

Purpose:

Set the real-time scheduling policy and priority for a specified process or for a new command to be executed.

Enter:

rtsched <-s scheduler> <-p priority> command [arguments]

or

rtsched <-s scheduler> <-p priority> <-P pid>

Where:

-s scheduler	Specify one of the following scheduler policies: SCHED_FIFO SCHED_RR SCHED_OTHER
-p priority	Specify the task priority.
command [arguments]	Specify the command and its optional arguments to run with the specified scheduling.
-P pid	Specify a currently executing process ID to set the scheduling for.

Example:

rtsched   -s SCHED_FIFO -p 10 a.out

 

The above example executes file a.out with SCHED_FIFO at a priority of 10.

rtsched  -s SCHED_RR -p 10 -P 23131

The above example executes the task corresponding to pid 23131 with SCHED_RR at a priority of 10.

Notes:

This program must run as root.
