Summary: What is a user-program allowed to do?? Message-ID: <218@egrunix.UUCP> Date: 25 Oct 89 15:24:14 GMT Reply-To: cogswell@unix.secs.oakland.edu (Dan Cogswell) Organization: Oakland University, Rochester, MI Lines: 10 Is it possible for a user program to easily and reliably schedule tasks already in the various system lists?? I ask this because I'm about to attempt implementing "Monitors" (kindof a structured Semaphore) to use with the Exec. I could use semaphores to do this, but that's not real clean. Basically, I would need to block a process (or task) and put it in one of my own condition queues. Then, at some later time, I'd have to re-schedule the task into one of the Exec queues (obviously the Ready queue). Can this be done reliably and easily?? Thanks in advance...
