Hello,
I have an application with threads, some of them must have highest priority
than others, so, I decided to modify the scheduling policy to round robin.
It works correctly (it seems), but I am obliged to be administrator when
starting the program. When an normal user (who cannot make a su command) try
to start the program, the function pthread_attr_setschedparam return an
error code (needs proviledge to be used). Is there a possibility to write a
program that changes the scheduling policy without the neccessity to be
administrator.
Best Regards,
AR
