3095.0. "Priv'd CREATE/TERM runs at prio 5?" by AIMHI::TINIUS (I didnt lose it, I just cant find it) Wed Jul 18 1990 18:07

If I execute 

$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=node/TRANS=transport
$ CREATE/TERM/DETACH

from a fully privileged account, the detached process running 
DECW$TERMINAL.EXE runs at base priority 5. If the account is not privileged, 
the detached process runs a base priority 4.

Is this expected behavior? Is it documented?

	Re: .0 I think it's a carry-over from code I copied from the session manager. When the DECwTermPort routine creates a new DECterm controller it does indeed try to give it a priority of 5. No, it's not documented. It would probably be best to add a /PRIORITY qualifier or to support a DECW$DECTERM_PRIORITY logical name, but instead it's hard coded as 5. -- Bob
