How do i make realtime processes in these days?
it's the bits you found in /proc; there are no (longer?) any special real time processes; any process can become real time by setting up deadlines at any point. /dev/realtime isn't needed any more. unfortunately, I'm not aware of any programs using it. (that may be a good question for the list: where was the real time scheduler used, and does any code using it survive?) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td0e7a4f73d1eae3b-Mef6952cc77b2f18134fbaf66 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
