>Last but not least, is there prior art for this sort of thing? Recent RedHats come with the taskset(1) utility in the schedutils package. Its usage: taskset version 1.3.0 usage: taskset [options] [mask] [pid | cmd [args...]] set or get the affinity of a process -p, --pid operate on existing given pid -h, --help display this help -v, --version output version information $ taskset 03 nice -20 nohup doexec arg0 timeout 30 chroot /var/empty env -i <command> (I made up "timeout", although I still plan to write it...) Sure, an uber-launcher could know about multiple different modifications to a process's world-view, but I don't think CPU affinity and scheduler priority fit quite well enough together to share in a common app. Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
