Message-ID: Date: 8 Apr 91 15:03:48 GMT Distribution: comp.unix.admin,comp.sys.sun Organization: Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA Lines: 16 Nntp-Posting-Host: spectrum.cc.lehigh.edu Is there any way one can implement a priority scheme under SunOS 4.1.1. Say, we want to allocate some users higher default priority than others. Granted this can be done on a case-by-case basis, but I rather not if some default priority can be assigned. Not having priority scheme hampers execution of interactive jobs if some cpu intensive background job is running. I am not interested in altering process priority, just the scheduling priority (the ones altered by nice(1) and renice(1)). Any suggestions? -- Binod Taterway Sr. User Consultant | lubkt@spectrum.CC.Lehigh.EDU Lehigh University Computing Center | bt00@lehigh.BITNET Bethlehem, PA 18015 | (215) 758-3984
