- Going through the man page on ps, I came across a section about flags
- dealing with a process. One of the flags was SOWEUPC with an
- explanation of, "Process is owed a profiling tick."
-
- My first question, what is a profiling tick? My second, why not just
- have the scheduler just adjust the priority to move it to the begining
- of the queue?
-
- Thanks.
