NAME
stp - Set Task Priority
SYNTAX
stp <hexadecimal TCB address> <decimal priority>
DESCRIPTION
This command allows the dynamic adjustment of a task's priority for
any task currently in the system. A hexadecimal Task Control
Block (TCB) address must be specified. This address is checked
for validity. A decimal priority in the range of -128 to 127 must
also be specified. This is also checked for validity.
The TCB is specified in hexadecimal, and the priority in decimal,
because, by convention, this is the format used by most 'ps'
type utilities.
SEE ALSO
eps
BUGS
This command allows the priority of ANY task in the system to be
arbitrarily changed. Changing system tasks' priorities is, in
general, a BAD idea.
