Hi doc, thanks for the guess.  sudo chrt does work, though.  I'm supposed to not need it with the rt-patched kernel, which allows non-root users to set high priorities.

chuckk, i can only try to guess.
perhaps sudo on your system is not allowed to do chrt?
on my system i have the file /etc/sudoers containing this two important
lines:

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
nowhiskey       ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

don't know if it could be the root of the problem, because if so, i
would expect something like 'operation not permitted' error, but who knows.


cheers,
doc
