Had the command syntax wrong. But got nice to work. Have to sudo if you use negative nice numbers.
It made zero difference in my jitter. I went from 19 to –20 on nice and no change.

And it all has a T1 as an input. But most T1 trunking circuits are getting replaced with SIP. So, I am building a cheap and dirty T1 signal generator that is GPS and rhubidium referenced. The hard part is easy. The easy part should be easy but all the T1 framing chips that used to exist no longer exist. The ones that are out there have massive CPU interfaces and tons of registers that need to get set to get them fired up and running.... Where is Exar when you need them....

Or at the very least tell Linux that my program is the most important thing in the world and service it above all other things. I am trying to create a timing signal with the Pi. It is doing it but the jitter is pretty bad. I have researched trying to use an interrupt but there is a pretty low limit on how many times per second you can fire a hardware interrupt. Too low for my application. --
