I'd suggest changing the priority to 0 without changing the scheduler.

cmappmgr(1m)															      cmappmgr(1m)

NAME
cmappmgr - launches and monitors an application process on a node SYNOPSIS
cmappmgr -node node_name [-cmappserver_timeout number_of_seconds] -service service_name DESCRIPTION
cmappmgr launches and monitors the specified application process on a specified node. The cmappserver(1m) daemon process must be running on the specified node, and there must be a routable TCP/IP network between the specified node and the local host where cmappmgr(1m) is run. cmappmgr exits when the application process exits. Options cmappmgr supports the following options: -node node_name Name of the node on which to launch the application process. -cmappserver_timeut number_of_seconds The number of seconds that must elapse before cmappmgr times out the connection with cmappserver on the specified node. This is optional. The default value is 10 seconds. The maximum value that can be specified is 600 seconds, and the mini- mum value is 1 second. -service service_name The full command line for the application or process to be launched. Note that -service must be the last argument speci- fied for cmappmgr as all strings following the argument are considered as part of the command line to launch the applica- tion process. Quotation marks ("") are not required. RETURN VALUE
cmappmgr returns the following value upon completion: 0 Successful completion. >= 1 One or more error conditions occurred. The value generally reflects the exit code of the process. If, for any reason, the process fails to launch on the specified node (for example, because of an error connecting to cmappserver), cmappmgr exits with 1. EXAMPLES
To launch an xclock application on the node v-smp1: cmappmgr -node v-smp1 -service /usr/bin/X11/xclock -display 16:89:255:19:0.0 AUTHOR
