- 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.
