Hi all I'm sorry to trouble you guys with this issue again.
As per /usr/include/sys/priority.h: /* * Priorities range from 0 to 255, but differences of less then 4 (RQ_PPQ) * are insignificant. Ranges are as follows: * * Interrupt threads: 0 - 63 * Top half kernel threads: 64 - 127 * Realtime user threads: 128 - 159 * Time sharing user threads: 160 - 223 * Idle user threads: 224 - 255 * */ ps aux -o pri,ni,rtprio,command shows following: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND PRI NI RTPRIO COMMAND root 12 91.0 0.0 0 8 ?? RL 9:50AM 830:41.81 [idle: cpu0] 171 0 idle:25 [idle: cpu0] root 13 0.0 0.0 0 8 ?? WL 9:50AM 3:28.96 [swi4: clock sio -32 0 intr:52 [swi4: clock sio root 696 0.0 0.1 3240 764 ?? Is 9:51AM 0:00.06 /usr/sbin/moused 96 0 normal /usr/sbin/moused 1. I want understand how to interpret above numbers related to process priorities? 1a) 171 0 idle:25 What is 171? Does it mean it has upgraded to Time sharing user threads range to be executed? What is idle:25? Is it its default priority 224+25=249? 1b) -32 0 intr:52 What is -32? What is 52? Is it its default priority 52 in the Interrupt threads range? 1c) 96 0 normal The normal is what? Is it priority 160 or 223? 2. What is the value range can be specified for process priority in /etc/login.conf? 3. What is the name of the program which process or validate priority values specified in /etc/login.conf?
