Can I give a process higher priority over another?

is there anyway that I can give a process higher priority over others? I'd like to give one of my programs higher priority so that it responds quicker to when my RF remote is pressed.

Open the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/, type this into the window that pops up, and hit the return key, hit the space bar to scroll down until you get an (END) prompt, hit the Q key, and then read all about the command:
*man nice*

is it possible????
actually my requirement is that i want only one instance of my class can run at a time.
please help me
thanks

hi
actually i can not use the file lock because my application is going to run on Solaris machine and since its a mutiuser platform and every user has a limited access to his data.and any user can run my application so the problem is where one user will write into a file so that other user can also read from the same file.
can i do it other way using native methods if yes can u elaborate please
thanks

How to: Give 1 SSID higher priority than other SSIDs

I sometime have up to 90 people connected to an AP.I have 3 SSIDs on my APs. 1 of them is the Corporate one and I need people who on that SSID have special treatment and make their network run faster , in the event of congestion. I dont really care about the service quality of the other SSIDs.
Note: The congestion is only at the AP since 90 people is a little too much for an AP. Once they get through Wireless to Wire, I dont have problem with Wire connection so no End-to-End QOS I prefer.
How do I archive this ?
I am on WLC v8.0

I undestand. But think about it for a moment. 80 non QoS devices all contending for the network at various parts in time and 10 QoS devices doing the same.
Even when a QoS device wants to trigger a frame he needs to listen to the medium. He may hear some mix of 80 other devices using the medium. The QoS device does his backoff and starts to count down. While counting down he is listening to the medium and hearing other (part of the 80 clients) transmitting frames. The QoS device then needs to pause, wait and then resume countdown when these frames are heard. When he hits 0 with his NAV, with 80 other clients on that cell the odds of him being the only one transmitting at that point of time isn't as good if there were only 20 clients on cell.
So my point being while you QoS you may not see the performance you want with that many people on cell.

Can you expose parts of one layer over another?

I'm trying to have an image in the background of a number in the foreground. The only option I have discovered is the 'move backward' and 'move forward' commands, but of course it only displays either image up to the image frame. Is there away to have the underlying image (grape vine) run underneath the number 2 (I want to color the number but have the vine running up to the edge of the number and begin again on the other side of the number, if that makes sense)? Thank you. Dan

Instead of the post above , try the following:
1. Turn off the visibilty or the background layer
     (click the eye beside the layer in the layers panel)
     (see the white around the "2")
2. Select the magic wand tool and click outside the number "2"
    (this selects the white area outside the number 2)
3. Press the Delete key (deletes the white around the number 2)
4. Ctrl+D deselect
5. Turn the visibility back on for the background layer.
6. Color the number 2 to taste.

How can I give the "user interface thread" higher priority?

We do alot of activex calls to front panels. We need to increase/decrease the priority of the user interface thread to resolve our thread problem. Anyone know how to do this?
Chuck

Hello,
As P.M. was saying, you can adjust the thread priorities
through the VI Properties dialogue.
Another place to modify the multithreading system in LabVIEW is a VI
located at: [LabVIEW Directory]\vi.lib\Utility\sysinfo.llb\threadconfig.vi. However I do not think this will remedy any
problems you are having.
From a Multithreading in LabVIEW tutorial (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/d2e196c7416f373a862568690074c759)
Priorities in the User Interface and
Single-Threaded Applications
Within the User Interface execution
system, priority levels are handled in the same way for single-threaded and
multithreaded applications.
In single-threaded applications and
in the User Interface execution system of multithreaded applications, the
execution system queue has multiple entry points. The execution system places
higher priority VIs on the queue in front of lower priority VIs.
If a high-priority task is running and the queue contains only lower priority
tasks, the high-priority VI continues to run. For example, if the execution
queue contains two VIs of each priority level, the time-critical VIs share execution time exclusively until both finish.
Then, the high priority VIs share execution
time exclusively until both finish, and so on. However, if the higher priority
VIs call a function that waits, the execution system removes higher priority
VIs from the queue until the wait or I/O completes, assigning other tasks
(possibly with lower priority) to run. When the wait or I/O completes, the
execution system reinserts the pending task on the queue in front of lower
priority tasks. Refer to the Synchronous/Blocking Nodes section for a list of
asynchronous functions that wait.
Also, if a high priority VI calls a lower priority subVI,
that subVI is raised to the same priority level as the caller for the duration
of that call. Consequently, you do not need to modify the priority levels of
the subVIs that a VI calls to raise the priority level of the subVI.
Thus changing the priority of your VI will change the
priority of UI calls for that particular VI.
Again, I caution you because I suspect that if you are having problems
with your application not running correctly, I do not believe that manipulating
the thread priorities will resolve these issues.
Hope this helps,

Configuring router to give my PC & tablet devices priority over guest

HI All, I have a teenager relative in the house who won't stop downloading movies and whatever else that takes up my bandwidth. Also, I just moved to FiOS from DSL, so i dont want to encourage even more downloading.
Q1. How do I give my devices priority over hers. I think I can make network object with my devices and then set priority to high. But should that be on the broadband, wifi or ethernet? high priority 7 is better right ?
Q2. is there a way to put a speed limit on the some of the devices? Also, can I stop peer to peer on certain (preferable) or all devices? The router was MI424WR (Actiontec)...
Also, how do I see which application is taking up the most bandwidth and from which device? thanks

Q1 I've never tried this but it looks like a priority option is available in the Actiontec.
Go to: Advanced > Quality of Service > Traffic priority.
Then create a rule to establish priority for each device.
Q2 I don't know how to put a speed limit on any device. But parental controls will allow you to block websites at certain times. That may be of help.
You can check total usage under System Monitoring, but not by device. Although I believe it would be safe to assume the device downloading movies is using most of the bandwidth.

Hello Les,
Think that you want to buy television or computer and how will you proceed for that.
1. Material Requirement : Your family will ask you that they need television so that is material requirement from the users (family), they will also give additional information like what is the size of TV, which brand etc
2. Quotation (Inquiry) : now you have requirement that you need one TV so you will looking for different vendors i.e. Phillips, Sharp, AIWA, Deawood and ask them to give the prices and other terms (free shipping, service after sales ) for TV
3. Quotation comparision : Once you get the price from all your supplier, you will make comparision on price and other terms also you can negotiate the price with vendor asking for discounts, free door delivery
4. Vendor Selection: Based on your negotiation you will identify the best deal and place order to that vendor.
5. Purchase order : You will place order to vendor asking for material (TV), for certain price on particular date at particular location (you home).
6. Goods Receipt : Once vendor delivers TV then you will receive the material at your location
7. Invoice receipt: Vendor will send the invoice with that delivery and you will check the price and make the payment to vendor,
I hope this will help you to under stand the concept of Procurment cylce.
More details you can get it from the link which I provided.

Give LAN higher priority than wireless / deactivate wireless if LAN is connected

Hi.
What I want to do is quite simple: Im my office there is a quite fast LAN connection and a rather poor wireless connection. Therefore, I want to tell my device: "If there is a LAN cable plugged in, just use LAN. Do not use Wifi in this case. If there is no LAN cable plugged in, try to connect to Wifi."
It is really annoying to change that manually each time.
I have already changed the network connection priority in Windows 7 as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2526067
But to no avail.
My notebook is E531.
Wifi Device: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230
Driver Date 30.09.2012
Driver Version 15.3.1.2
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi cis,
do you by any chance have Access Connections installed on your system? It is possible that the WLAN adapter is set to a higher priority than LAN in your location profile which is causing the behaviour. If you don't have AC installed it may be a possible solution you could try.

Give MacBook iSight priority over LED Cinema Display iSight?

Hi all,
I have a new MacBook purchased in January 2010, which I hook up to a new Apple LED Cinema Display purchased a couple of weeks ago. Both the MacBook and display have iSight cameras built in.
I seem to be able to have both cameras working independently of each other within iChat and Photo Booth, but when I try and use a webcam on a website chatroom, no matter what I try, the camera in the display takes priority over the MacBook. I want the display camera to be disabled, and for the MacBook camera to work instead.
I have tried setting up the displays both as mirrored and extended, and tried moving the menu bar from display to MacBook and vice versa, but as soon as I enter a chatroom, the display camera is used.
I have tried altering the Flash settings in the chatrooms, but because both cameras are integrated and so have the same input settings, that doesn't work.
I have a feeling I am trying to achieve the impossible, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Hi,
An Interesting one.
I am not sure there are any setting on the Mac to change this.
System Profiler is not "Dragable" to re-order the USB list.
Although it may be possible to use Terminal to re-order any list or priority that would be beyond my knowledge.
I would tend to go for the work around of using Photo Booth or iChat to make the unwanted camera Busy.

Why is time-critical thread not interrupting sleepless high priority thread?

Hello,
I have two threads running in the same execution system on a real-time PXI platform. The time-critical thread sleeps using "AI Single Scan.VI", and acquires my data at a rate of 8000 Hz.
I have a slower high priority process that calls a DLL function to calculate some filter coefficients. This function call takes longer than 1/8000 s to complete, and runs in a loop, executing as often as it can (with new data from FIFOs).
I expected the time-critical thread to interrupt the the high priority thread without problem.
I am finding that unless I insert a LabVIEW delay (for example a wait for x ms VI) in the loop, the real-time system stops responding. With a small delay (ie 1 ms), t
he acquisition completes, and a FIFO shuts down the loop of the slow process.
Why do I need a labVIEW delay in the high-priority loop, when the DLL function call itself is quite slow? Even without a DLL call, I would expect the time-critical VI to interrupt, finish its data acquisition, and shut-down the high-priority thread using its FIFO.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Frenk

Here are a couple things to try/check:
1) Check the call library node in your high priority VI. If it's orange (runs in UI thread), your high priority VI is actually switching to the UI thread every time your dll runs. That alone is not a problem. But if your TC VI tries to update any control terminals, the TC thread will switch over to the UI thread to access UI resources, possibly while the dll within your high priority VI has a lock on those resources. Why does the dll have a lock on UI resources? Because it was running in the UI thread and got interrupted by the TC thread before it finished doing its business. Not likely, but possible.
2) There's another possible reason you're seeing this behavior. If the TC VI and the high VI call a mutual subVI, the subVI will be elevated to ALWAYS run in the highest priority thread irrespective of the actual caller (in your case, it's the the TC thread). Even when the *high priority VI* calls the mutual subVI, that subVI runs in the time-critical thread, which means there's a thread switch from high to TC, then back to high after the subVI finishes. And because high and TC VIs are in the same exec system, that mutual subVI will always run in the 1 and only TC thread alotted to that exec system.
So, while your TC VI is running, you're in the TC thread. While, your high VI is running, you're in a high non-TC thread, and when your high VI calls the mutual subVI, you're again in the TC thread until the subVI finishes.
So how could this arrangement cause your TC VI to become starved by the high VI? If your TC VI wakes up while the high VI is in the middle of running the mutual subVI, the TC thread responsible for running the TC VI is actually busy (in the middle of running the subVI in your high VI!!!), so the TC thread cannot run your TC VI until it finishes running that mutual subVI.
The fix: make your TC VI run in a different exec system. It will be given its own TC thread that no one else can mess with. When TC VI wakes up, it's guaranteed a TC thread.
I think there's a good reason behind why a mutual subVI ALWAYs runs at the highest priority of all its callers, irrespective of the actual caller's priority...but I can't think of the reason at the moment.

Can I give a process higher priority over another?
