Hi, I am not too familiar with Linux scheduler. What I could understand theoretically is - the interactive processes get advantage (-5) in priority. And hence the effective priority is higher. Query: Is this true for realtime processes ( with SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR policy) as well? Could the realtime processes be I/O bound or interactive? -- Thanks, Nilesh _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
