Hello wise ones,
I have just been experimenting with the class_scheduling feature in Tru64
4.0E and at first it looked absolutely wonderful, but then I hit a couple
of snags:
(1) it worked well for a few minutes but then became disabled. In kern.log
are messages like:
vmunix: The class scheduler daemon is not responding. Class scheduling
has been disabled.
(2) I was hoping to make use of class scheduling by putting the runclass
command in the wrapper script which runs netscape. Unfortunately the
runclass command fails if class scheduling is disabled...this accords with
the man page but is not very helpful. So if I were to install this then
netscape would become unavailable whenever class scheduling were disabled
for any reason. But I guess I can produce some shell script jiggery-pokery
to get round this.
I am also puzzled as to what happens at a reboot. There are no class_admin
commands in any of the /sbin/init.d scripts: do I have to write one myself
or is there some magic way by which the enabled status is retained?
I am running 4.0E with patch kit 2, and can't find any class_daemon core
files.
Any hints from others who have run the software would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Bob
