Hi,
I've been playing around a little with the priority thing. I would like
to understand better the way it works. Looking at the priority of jackd
(running realtime, as user, and with a RT kernel, full-preemption) I
can't figure out why if I start jackd with -P 60 (or any other number >
0) the output of chrt is always:
$ chrt -p (jackd's pid)
pid 8115's current scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER
pid 8115's current scheduling priority: 0
I checked this in two different distros (FC4+CCRMA and Ubuntu with
custom RT kernel) and the result is the same. Is it not supposed to read:
$ chrt -p 8115
pid 8115's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO (maybe?)
pid 8115's current scheduling priority: 60
I know that I can set this manually, but I'm just wondering what is the
real effect of the -P flag.
Any help will be appreciated,
Cheers!
Hector
