erm...what are jiffies ? - aW Sorry; I'll be more specific. I'm porting a deadline-scheduler from Linux over to FreeBSD that determines deadines by using jiffies. For example, process 1's deadline is when jiffies=10 and so on. I just discovered the global variable 'ticks' which seems to suit my needs, is this correct?
