AFAIK, it's more than a rumor. In particular, older implementations of 'ps' assume that HZ == 100 when doing some translations, so you would get weird output unless you recompiled it. I *think* this should be fixed in all code that comes with your average distro these days, but I'm not sure... (I've never bothered to change HZ, as it doesn't affect what I do anyway.) //David Olofson --- Programmer, Reologica Instruments AB .- M A I A -------------------------------------------------. | Multimedia Application Integration Architecture | | A Free/Open Source Plugin API for Professional Multimedia | `----------------------------> http://www.linuxdj.com/maia -' .- David Olofson -------------------------------------------. | Audio Hacker - Open Source Advocate - Singer - Songwriter | `-------------------------------------> http://olofson.net -' -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/
