hi

if somebody knows the difference b/w /PRI of both
these commands because both give different results

ps -Al
& top

as per priority rule we can set priority upto 0-99
but top never shows this high priority


Priority values 0-99 are real time ones and 100-139 are normal scheduling ones. RT scheduling does not change dynamic priority while running wheras normal scheduling does (between 100-139). top shows the value of the current dynamic priority in the PRI column as the current dynamic priority-100. If you have a real time task in top it shows as a -ve value. ps -Al seems to show the current dynamic priority+60.

That should read dynamic priority-60 in the PRI column.
