SUSPENDSCHED(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual SUSPENDSCHED(9)NAME
suspendsched -- suspend the scheduler
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/proc.h>
#include <sys/sched.h>
void
suspendsched(void);
DESCRIPTION
The suspendsched() function suspends the operation of the scheduler by stopping all non-system processes which are on the run queue or the
sleep queue.
The suspendsched() function must not be called with the scheduler lock held.

RUNQUEUE(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual RUNQUEUE(9)NAME
choosethread, procrunnable, remrunqueue, setrunqueue -- manage the queue of runnable processes
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>
extern struct rq itqueues[];
extern struct rq rtqueues[];
extern struct rq queues[];
extern struct rq idqueues[];
struct thread *
choosethread(void);
int
procrunnable(void);
void
remrunqueue(struct thread *td);
void
setrunqueue(struct thread *td);
DESCRIPTION
The run queue consists of four priority queues: itqueues for interrupt threads, rtqueues for realtime priority processes, queues for time
sharing processes, and idqueues for idle priority processes. Each priority queue consists of an array of NQS queue header structures. Each
queue header identifies a list of runnable processes of equal priority. Each queue also has a single word that contains a bit mask identify-
ing non-empty queues to assist in selecting a process quickly. These are named itqueuebits, rtqueuebits, queuebits, and idqueuebits. The
run queues are protected by the sched_lock mutex.
procrunnable() returns zero if there are no runnable processes other than the idle process. If there is at least one runnable process other
than the idle process, it will return a non-zero value. Note that the sched_lock mutex does not need to be held when this function is
called. There is a small race window where one CPU may place a process on the run queue when there are currently no other runnable processes
while another CPU is calling this function. In that case the second CPU will simply travel through the idle loop one additional time before
noticing that there is a runnable process. This works because idle CPUs are not halted in SMP systems. If idle CPUs are halted in SMP sys-
tems, then this race condition might have more serious repercussions in the losing case, and procrunnable() may have to require that the
sched_lock mutex be acquired.
choosethread() returns the highest priority runnable thread. If there are no runnable threads, then the idle thread is returned. This func-
tion is called by cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() to determine which thread to switch to. choosethread() must be called with the sched_lock
mutex held.
setrunqueue() adds the thread td to the tail of the appropriate queue in the proper priority queue. The thread must be runnable, i.e. p_stat
must be set to SRUN. This function must be called with the sched_lock mutex held.
remrunqueue() removes thread td from its run queue. If td is not on a run queue, then the kernel will panic(9). This function must be
called with the sched_lock mutex held.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

I have a file which looks roughly like this:

and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
