I don't know about the output, but again, 0 isn't valid for the FIFO policy. > The joke is, it does not even parse it's args for the command the user > wants to run. Yes, it does: # chrt 5 ls bin boot cgroup dev etc home lib lib64 lost+found media mnt opt proc root sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var > To wit (from soource code): > > while((i = getopt_long(argc, argv, "+bfiphmorvV", longopts, > NULL)) != -1) getopt_long won't return non-option arguments. Those are parsed later. getopt returns option arguments and modifies argv to remove them after parsing. Non-option arguments are left in argv. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
