sched_4bsd.c Quantum change

[Smith III, Edward Mr. CAA/ISC]

just use the "nice" call with a negative value for the process.  the time quantum will be the same but it will get more run time.

man nice

Quick question for you hackers!

If i wanted to change the scheduler to have a certain marked bad process have a higher time quantum than everyone elses (because it is behaving bad, high mem usage and context switching) to let it run longer to finish faster and avoid context switches and swapping, is this possible in the current scheduler without major changes to it? Right now the scheduler works by having a uniform quantum for all processes, am i correct?

Thanks
Ash
