What is the best approach? Is it to hook the linux scheluder? OK, this is indeed best done in the scheduler. You can probably go for a 2-phase approach: 1) use a function pointer in the task struct, which is set for each task when your module is loaded 2) somewhere in the scheduler code (when a process is selected): if (p->schedule_profile) ... call the magic function pointer regards, Rik -- DMCA, SSSCA, W3C?
