SetIntPri V1.0 DOCS
===================
(c) 1994 by SiliconSurfer/Phantasm

SetIntPri V1.0 is freely distributable
SetIntPri is used to change the priority of any interrupt server.
OS2.04+ ist required. It DOES need to be given the full name of the
interrupt server to change. This was written as a simple shell
command that does not need a GUI and can be used in scripts or from
the shell.
This program was written to help a well-known sysop in Hamurg/Germany
with his 8 nodz Amiga BBS.
USAGE
Although SetIntPri will run from the Workbench, it will only really
make sense to run it from the shell or a script. It takes the
ReadArgs template :
NAME/A,PRIORITY/A/N,Q=QUIET/S
NAME is the name of the interrupt server to change. This parameter
is compulsory and must be an ascii string.
PRIORITY is the new priority you wish to give the interrupt server.
It must be a number between -128 and +127. This parameter is
compulsory.
Q=QUIET . Specifying Q or QUIET as the last parameter will stop
SetIntPri from issuing any messages. Useful for scripts. This
parameter is optional.
EXAMPLES
SetIntPri ciab.resource 50 Q
Sets the priority of the interrupt server ciab.resource (if installed).
No messages are output.
SetIntPri z3scsi.device 100
Sets the priority of the interrupt server z3scsi.device to 100 and
reports what it has done to the shell.
SetIntPri NAME AT-IDE PRIORITY 10 QUIET
Changes the priority of the interrupt server AT-IDE to 10 with no
message reporting. The Keywords are NOT compulsory.
RETURN CODES
0 : All was OK, and the interrupt priority was changed
5 : There was an error in the ReadArgs parameters
10 : The requested priority was out of the range -28 to +127
20 : The named interrupt could not be found. Either it was not installed
or you spelt it wrong.
