As I understand, it will be integrated into 2.1.XX kernel after cleaning up SMP stuff. For now, there is a separate patch and utils for 2.0.27 ( http://luz.cs.nmt.edu/~rtlinux/ ).
But there is also:
Title: rt - run program on realtime priority Version: 1.0 Entered-date: 12 Jan 1997 Description: rt starts any program on realtime priority, like nice does with lower priority. Lets you choose scheduler class (SCHED_RR vs SCHED_FIFO policy) and priority. Keywords: linux, real time, scheduler Author: Boris Tobotras <boris@xtalk.msk.su> Maintained-by: Boris Tobotras <boris@xtalk.msk.su> Primary-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/Admin 10 kb rt-1.0.tar.gz Alternate-site: ftp.macsimum.ru /pub/Linux/local 10 kb rt-1.0.tar.gz Platform: Linux 1.3.87 and later Copying-policy: GPL End
But it does something else. I do not know how well it really works.
