Hello, I would like to add the contents/functionality in test.sh to start_logger_TC.sh, but when I've attempted to add the commands in test.sh to start_logger_TC.sh, the added test.sh commands don't work, but when test.sh is run by itself, and start_logger_TC.sh as attached is run by itself, all works fine.

Is there a way to add the commands/functionality inside test.sh into start_logger_TC.sh?

I would like to just run start_logger_TC.sh and force mt_logger to run on one core
and mt_adc to run on the second core (dual core VortexDX3).

Thanks,

David

Sorry, wouldn't let me attach the .sh files, here's screen shots of the script files.

Thanks,

Which one is test.sh? Which one is start_logger_TC.sh?

Look at parallel

Also taskset

Taskset from Teckk URL might help.

Try something like this:

Hi Teckk,

Thanks for the help, I'll check out those links.

start_logger_TC.sh is the script with the "aterm ........" commands, which starts up a data acquisition program, mt_logger is the GUI part (GLADE) responsible for on screen drawing and user input through the GUI and mt_adc is the "nuts and bolts" of dealing with the data, buffering and writing to disk.

I would like to (automatically) make mt_logger run on 1 core of the VortexDX3 (and stay there), and mt_adc run on the other.

mt_logger is about a 30 percent load on 1 core but w/o the taskset command the two applications flip back and forth between the cores, it seems to help stability of the system overall if the programs are forced to run (and stay) on their own respective cores.

I was hoping/trying to put the taskset commands into start_logger_TC.sh so that on startup, the programs are forced to run and stay on their own cores.

Thanks,

David
