dependent on its ability to lock part or all of the process's virtual address space into RAM, preventing that memory from being paged to the swap area. This patch will attempt to lock the process's virtual address space into RAM if the process has the ability to run threads with different priorities. If unsuccessful, it prints an message to stderr. In Linux, one can grant a process the ability to run threads with different priorities by using a command like ulimit -r unlimited. To use the FIFO scheduler, use a command like so - chrt -f 1 softIoc -d test.db In Linux, one can grant a process the ability to lock memory by using a command like ulimit -l unlimited. Alternatively, these limits can be configured on a per user/per group basis by using /etc/security/limits.conf or its equivalent. In Linux, a child process created via fork inherits its parent's resource limits. Thus, it is probably a good idea to start the caRepeater before starting the IOC.
