- Command Name : Changetaskpri
-
- Function : Change the priority of a currently running process
-
- Arguments : <priority> [process]
-
- Location : C directory
-
- The Amiga is a multitasking computer, which means you can run several tasks
- at one time. These each have a priority over the computer - the higher the
- priority the more `rights' they have to the system. A task with priority
- 3 will be able to access, for example, a printer while a priority 2 task
- won't. This is because all lower priority tasks will find the system
- without a printer if it is in use. It sound complicated but can be useful.
- Use the command Ststus to see the currently running tasks. Make sure you
- get the arguments the right way round!
