ChangeTaskPri <priority> [ PROCESS <process number> ]
PRI=PRIORITY/A/N,PROCESS/K/N
The ChangeTaskPri command is used to change the current run
priority of a Task. As AROS is a multitasking operating
system, you can determine which tasks receive more CPU time
by changing their priorities.
The value of |priority| can be from -128 to 127, however values
greater than 4 are not recommended as they can interfere with
vital system processes. Higher values will give tasks a higher
CPU priority.
You can use the Status command to examine the list of Tasks that
are running and their process numbers.
1.SYS:> ChangeTaskPri 1 Process 1
Set the priority of the current process to 1.
1.SYS:> ChangeTaskPri 1
Also sets the priority of the current process to 1.
