The provided patch will fix that, and also _boldface_ the "root" user in the man page (mdoc(1) change). Also, instead of: "system calls are currently never preempted" It will substitute it with: "system calls are currently not preempted" Thanks, -- Hiten Pandya -- <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org> >How-To-Repeat: visit the rtprio(1) manual page. >Fix: The following patch should be applied to src/usr.sbin/rtprio/rtprio.1 --- rtprio.1.old Sat Mar 16 02:22:41 2002 +++ rtprio.1 Sat Mar 16 03:03:58 2002 @@ -108,7 +108,9 @@ .Ar Pid of 0 means "the current process". .Pp -Only root is allowed to set realtime or idle priority for a process. +Only +.Sy root +is allowed to set realtime or idle priority for a process. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS If .Nm @@ -184,16 +186,16 @@ (swapper) (see .Xr ps 1 ) . .Pp -There is in -.Fx -no way to ensure that a process page is present in memory therefore +There is no way in +.Fx , +to ensure that a process page is present in memory therefore the process may be stopped for pagein (see .Xr mprotect 2 , .Xr madvise 2 ) . .Pp Under -.Fx -system calls are currently never preempted, therefore non-realtime +.Fx , +system calls are currently not preempted, therefore non-realtime processes can starve realtime processes, or idletime processes can starve normal priority processes. .Sh AUTHORS >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
