autoqosd - apply QOS parameters automatically
The AutoQOS daemon should be started by root from the rc.local script, and runs continuously. When it starts initially it reads the /etc/qosrc configuration file. Any named reserve definitions present are passed onto the kernel at this point.Subsequently, autoqosd monitors application startup using the sys-exec kernel event. It applies the scheduling parameters you specify to programs automatically once they start running (however they are launched).
If you modify /etc/qosrc, you can send autoqosd a HUP signal to force it to read the configuration file again.
/etc/qosrc System-wide QOS configuration file. /proc/reserves Reserves currently known to the kernel.
