CHANGETASKPRI

FORMAT:     CHANGETASKPRI (priority) [PROCESS (process number)]
Template:   PRI=PRIORITY/A/N,PROCESS/K/N
Location    C: 

CHANGETASKPRI changes the priority of the specified Shell Process. If no process is specified, the current Shell process is assumed. Any shell process started from (process number) inherits its priority.

Use the STATUS command to display the current process numbers.

The range of acceptable values for (priority) is the integers from -128 to 127, with higher values yielding ahigher priority (a greater proportion of CPU time is allocated). However, do not enter values above +10 to avoid disrupting important system tasks.

Example:

CHANGETASKPRI 4 Process 2

The priority of Process 2 is changged to 4. Any shell process started from this shell also has the prioritty of 4. They have the priority over any other user tasks created without using CHANGETASKPRI (those tasks have a priority of 0).
