This seems a common question.

I searched through the group and web. However, I cann't get any answer
for this.
I post the question here with the hope I can get my doubt answered.
Thank you
very much!

Currently, I have several threads. I need the threads to run in
difference priority.
I realize that I cann't use SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR since they requires
root
access. (and my client doesn't have root access on their machine)

1. I try to use SCHED_OTHER. However, the min and the max priority for
SCHED_OTHER
   are both 0. I cann't change the thread priority statically through
SCHED_OTHER?

May I know how I can let the user changes their thread priority without
having
root access.

Thank you very much!
