Re: priority question

Dianne I am only guessing here, since I never had to do this sort of thing, but the Unix pid corresponding to the session id can be found from onstat -g ses <session_id> where session_id = 52697 in your example. On some Unix systems priority can be increased by root by decreasing the nice-ness of the process. Other (non-root) users can only increase the nice-ness of the processes they own, thereby decreasing the priority. However if I understand correctly, a session runs in a thread, a group of which (threads and therefore sessions) correspond to a single Unix process (and therefore a pid). Thus decreasing the nice-ness of the pid corresponding to session id = 52697 will raise the priority of all threads that are running in the process. I may be wrong on this however so I would welcome comments and corrections from more knowledgable members of this group.

Can the priority be raised on a particular session? For instance, if I have this onstat -u: INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.23.UC1 -- On-Line -- Up 57 days 00:27:52 -- 224688 K bytes Userthreads address flags sessid user tty wait tout locks nreads nwrites d066a018 ---P--D 1 informix - 0 0 0 19138 85646 d066a458 ---P--F 0 informix - 0 0 0 0 1330421 d066a898 ---P--F 0 informix - 0 0 0 0 458444 d066acd8 ---P--F 0 informix - 0 0 0 0 1820533 d066b118 ---P--F 0 informix - 0 0 0 0 1677823 d066b558 ---P--B 9 informix - 0 0 0 13 480 d066b998 ---P--D 11 informix - 0 0 0 0 0 d066e858 Y--P--- 52697 cscadapt - d07c3c10 0 1 0 0 d0673918 Y--P--- 53406 diannep - d0884a00 0 1 0 0 9 active, 128 total, 45 maximum concurrent Can I raise the priority on session 52697, the one with user cscadapt?
