How can you force a program/process to run on a specific CPU core?

Hi,
Having a quad core processor, when I launch a program/process, I always want it to run on a specific core, is there a way to over-ride the scheduler that does this?

Cheers

ice.

Install the "schedutils" package and use "taskset".

Cheers for that. Just what I was looking for.
