I'm intrigued why you'd want to do that. The scheduler should dynamically split processes up over however many processors you've got. It might be useful if you had hetrogenious processors and some processes ran faster on some of the processors? Or is it an attempt to get round the task switching delay when processes start by keeping cores clear for them? ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam     <a href="mailto:rmcw@allmail.net">rmcw@allmail.net</a>    <a href="http://www.ormiret.com">www.ormiret.com</a> Everything should be made as simple as possible - but no simpler.         -- Albert Einstein -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/"> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div> So your saying that the scheduler does work with 2 cores/ CPU's etc... -- Kris Douglas       Softdel Limited Hosting Services       Web: <a href="http://www.softdel.net">www.softdel.net</a>       Mail: <a href="mailto:kris@softdel.net">kris@softdel.net</a>
