Hi, In a earlier message, someone mentioned that a tick last 10ms. Does that mean a process will run for 10ms and then have its counter decremented(provided that it is not interupted)? If so, how would I go about changing it to 1ms? thanks,tim _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
