Fixing Priority

[Lalit Seth]

Hi,

I am having a Multi-Threaded Daemon running on HPUX 11.11 using GCC.

I can see in 'top' that its PRIORITY is somewhere near 236-255 with NICE
vlaue at 20.

There are other process running at priorities at 154, 156 but my daemon
always remain at top of the list.

Why?

Also i witnesssed that after few minutes of execution the PRIORITY is
changed to 152.
Why does it change from 242/255 to 152?

Is there any system call through which i can FIX the Priority for my
Daemon?

Many Thanks
