problem using sched_fifo ( post #1)

members,

I have been tryin to use sched_fifo command, I have created two processes(using fork) and assigned priorities to them using sched_fifo scheduler. and setparam function. The program itself has to print a's in one process and b's in another. I have created a delay in printing using a dummy for loop. the expected output is
a <delay> a ........
but what its actually doing is throwing out all the output atonce.
I did make the delay large enough for it to take considerable amount of time. I have a feeling that the processes are taking up higher priority as compared to the shell itself.

Please help with some debugging

Thanks

how are you outputting? if its with some sort of buffered output system like printf then it wont display until the buffer is full or you explicity flush the buffer. if your using printf then the buffer can be flushed by fflush(stdout);

Using stdio ? Beware of buffering. Either turn buffering off on stdout, use stderr or use low level write.

Using C++ iostream; like wise.

I have been using fprint(stderr,......)
doesent seem to work
