Linux-SRT User's Manual (1)

Name

setp - command line interface to set scheduling parameters

Synopsis

setp [options] e <command> [<args...>]
setp [options] a <pid>

Description

The first form of the setp command starts a given program with scheduling parameters specified by the options. The second form applies the parameters to a running task specified by pid.

If necessary, setp accesses the configuration data in /etc/qosrc when run using the qosrc library (as does autoqosd).

Command-line options

-t		Toggle between normality and specified scheduling
-f <value>		POSIX FIFO realtime priority (1-99)
-n <value>		Nice [-20, 19]; same as Linux setpriority
-r <name>		Join the reserve specified
-l		Lookup and join the reserve configured by /etc/qosrc
-z		Return to normality

Files

/etc/qosrc

System-wide AutoQOS configuration file.
