NOTES: This contains two relates programs -- eps which prints out what processes are running and their priorties, and stp which sets the task priorities. I redid the shar to separate docs, sources, and binaries. -- Pat White (co-moderator comp.sources/binaries.amiga) ARPA/UUCP: j.cc.purdue.edu!ain BITNET: PATWHITE@PURCCVM PHONE: (317) 743-8421 U.S. Mail: 320 Brown St. apt. 406, West Lafayette, IN 47906 [How do you get to heaven?

It should be placed in the C: directory on your workbench disk. It can only be run from the CLI. When run, it produces output similar to the following: Task Name Pri St Address P CLI I Command Name Current Dir ---------------- ---- --- -------- - --- - ---------------- ---------------- Initial CLI 0 RUN c04fd0 P 1 I c:eps ASDG-RAM: Workbench 1 WAI c0f1a0 P 0 I Background CLI -1 WAI c27a30 P 3 B c:cron Workbench 1.2: RAM 0 WAI c1e620 P Background CLI 5 WAI c23250 P 2 B c:loadavg Workbench 1.2: File System 10 WAI c05dc0 P VD0 5 WAI c2a028 P input.device 20 WAI c02672 T trackdisk.device 5 WAI c047a6 T trackdisk.device 5 WAI c01446 T File System 10 WAI c00a98 P CON 5 WAI c06a90 P The following is a brief explanation of each field: TASK NAME - This is the ASCII name found in the task structure. PRI - This is the task's current priority printed in decimal. ST - This is the task's current state. All states are abbreviated to three letters. For example, RUN means this is the currently executing task, RDY means that this task is ready for the CPU, WAI means this task is currently in a wait state, etc. ADDRESS - This is the address of the task's TCB (Task Control Block) printed in hexadecimal. P - This indicates whether the task is a task, or a process. 'T' indicates a task, 'P' indicates a process. CLI - If the process is also a CLI process, the CLI task array number is printed in this field. I - This field indicates whether the CLI process was started as an interactive 'I', or a background 'B' process. Background processes are the result of the RUN command. COMMAND NAME - This is the name of the command as DOS sees it in the filing system. CURRENT DIRECTORY - This is the current working directory of the CLI process. SEE ALSO stp BUGS The TASK NAME, COMMAND NAME, and CURRENT DIRECTORY are truncated to a length of 16 characters each, for formatting purposes.

A hexadecimal Task Control Block (TCB) address must be specified. This address is checked for validity. A decimal priority in the range of -128 to 127 must also be specified. This is also checked for validity. The TCB is specified in hexadecimal, and the priority in decimal, because, by convention, this is the format used by most 'ps' type utilities. SEE ALSO eps BUGS This command allows the priority of ANY task in the system to be arbitrarily changed. Changing system tasks' priorities is, in general, a BAD idea.
