The command renice -n <prio> <pid> will adjust the niceness of a thread or process. The values for 'prio' range from -20 (best for the process) to 19 (worst for the process).

  • I'm guessing RTLinux has a separate notion of thread priority, which is set using a specific tool. – dhag Dec 07 '15 at 17:27
  • It's been a while so I may be confusing various projects I've worked on but I'm pretty sure that's how I did it last time I used RTLinux – David King Dec 07 '15 at 17:28
  • Oh, OK, then you must know much better than me. I was assuming things about systems I know almost nothing about. – dhag Dec 07 '15 at 18:15
