chrt — manipulate the real-time attributes of a process
chrt [options] prio command
[arg...]
chrt [options] −p [prio] pid
chrt sets or
retrieves the real-time scheduling attributes of an existing
pid, or runs
command with the
given attributes. Both policy (one of SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, SCHED_BATCH, or SCHED_IDLE) and priority can be set and
retrieved.
The SCHED_BATCH policy is
supported since Linux 2.6.16. The SCHED_IDLE policy is supported since Linux
2.6.23.
The SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag
for policies SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO is supported since Linux
2.6.31.
−a,−−all−tasksSet or retrieve the scheduling attributes of all the tasks (threads) for a given PID.
−b,−−batchSet scheduling policy to SCHED_BATCH (Linux specific).
−f,−−fifoSet scheduling policy to SCHED_FIFO.
−i,−−idleSet scheduling policy to SCHED_IDLE (Linux specific).
−m,−−maxShow minimum and maximum valid priorities, then exit.
−o,−−otherSet policy scheduling policy to SCHED_OTHER.
−p,−−pidOperate on an existing PID and do not launch a new task.
−r,−−rrSet scheduling policy to SCHED_RR. When policy is not defined
the SCHED_RR is used as
default.
−R,−−reset−on−forkAdd SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag to the
SCHED_FIFO or
SCHED_RR scheduling
policy (Linux specific).
−v,−−verboseShow status information.
−h,−−helpDisplay usage information and exit.
−V,−−versionDisplay version information and exit.
chrt
prio command[arguments]
chrt −p
pid
chrt −r −p prio pid
A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE to change the scheduling
attributes of a process. Any user can retrieve the scheduling
information.
Only SCHED_FIFO,
SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_RR are part of POSIX 1003.1b Process
Scheduling. The other scheduling attributes may be ignored on
some systems.
Linux default scheduling policy is SCHED_OTHER.
