Oh yes, you are right, I didn't read the man page careful enough, sorry. getuid() makes only sense with PRIO_USER.

You could try to use getpid() instead. However, passing 0 as second parameter is officially allowed and is interpreted as the current process too. The cause is more likely that the process is not allowed to set the requested priority. To investigate this, you can dump the old and new priority value to the log files. Looks something like this: (untested) dsyslog("%s thread setpriority %i to %i", Thread->description, getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0), Priority); Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
