SubjectRe: [RFC] Multiprocessor Control Interfaces
Date
Please check, also:

http://www.hockin.org/~thockin/pset. Not finished, but could be.

> Usage: run [OPTIONS] { COMMAND [ARGS] | PROCESS_SPECIFIER }
> Set scheduling parameters and CPU bias for a new process or a list
> of existing processes.
>
> OPTIONS can be one or more of the following options:
>
> -b, --bias=LIST Set the CPU bias to the LIST of CPUs;
> CPUs are numbered starting from 0
> -s, --policy=POLICY Set the scheduling policy to POLICY
> -P, --priority=LEVEL Set the scheduling priority to LEVEL
> -q, --quantum=QUANTUM Set the SCHED_RR quantum to QUANTUM
> -v, --version Output version information and exit
> -h, --help Display this help and exit
>
> PROCESS_SPECIFIER is exactly one of the following options:
>
> -p, --pid=LIST Specify LIST of existing PIDs to modify
> -g, --group=LIST Specify LIST of process groups to modify; all
> existing processes in the groups will be modified
> -u, --user=LIST Specify LIST of users to modify; all existing
> processes owned by the users will be modified
> -n, --name=LIST Specify LIST of existing process names to modify
>
> Multiple comma separated values can be specified for all LISTs and ranges
> are allowed where appropriate (e.g. "run -b 0,1-3 autopilot").
>
> See the run(1) man page for more information.
