Priority Queue.. 3 years 11 weeks ago

How does Priority Queue work. This is my scenario, I have certain objects with priorities 1,2,..10. There could be multiple objects with same priority. I was thinking I can put them into a priority queue and let the pool() give me the objects with highest priority.. ? I m kinda confused with PQ. 1) I get errors when i create a PQ <MyClass>.

I am running Request Tracker 4 on a Debian Squeeze Server. I have to implement a priority escalation.

Can anyone explain (or know of a source) that provides details about the items in limits.conf? The man page doesn't give much details.

For example it says:

rtprio maximum realtime priority allowed for non-privileged processes (Linux 2.6.12 and higher)

priority the priority to run user process with (negative values boost process priority)

How are these different?

I have client website hosted on my server but they use a different mail server not hosted with us, so we basically have

1.MX entry to their mail server IP with priority 10 2.DNS A record to mail.xxx.com their mail server 3.DNS MX record with mail.xxx.com with priority as 0

My problem comes when i try to install the SSL certificate it only sends to the

administrator@xxx.com

What i wanted

I have an Ubuntu micro instance running on amazon EC2.

Recently after logging in I was alerted:

*** /dev/xvda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***

I've rebooted a couple times using init 6, however when I log on I am still getting the same notice, so apparently fsck is not running at startup.

I read this blog post which mentions that if the /etc/fstab <pass> column is set to 0

I've been putting this profile and task into tasker

And everything is ok except on three places it has me set a priority for a particular task...but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the priority for a task...

Can someone help?

we have a website with CometChat integration for our users; since our apache server gets a lot of requests for the chat service, we'd like to set a different (lower) priority for these requests, while serving with an higher priority the other ones.

As far as we know, one way to do this could be using mod_qos, that would let us limit the number of requests in a period of time (eg reqs per second)

I want to give Gnome-Shell the highest priority, but I couldn't change the priority on the System Monitor, an error messeage says: Can't change priority's process with pid 2841 to -5.
