hi a short test: - ssh into a box from an ssh window - asterisk -gvvvvvcp - close window asterisk box now hangs and doesn't even take a Alt+SysRq+B is this "pseudo" realtime? I thought the "pseudo" realtime threads allowed others to run as well.... Is it possible to have asterisk start with high priority, also for I/O etc without using -p? roy

A better word would be "strict priorities". This means that if such a thread loops and is busy no processes with lower (or normal) priorities will be allowed to run. You can have a shell running with higher RT priority, that should work. If it comes in over the network you need to have your network daemon running with an appropriate priority as well. Peter
