Re^2: Set thread quantum for process under Windows

Thanks a lot. These seem to be useful starting points. But my main goal is to do this on a constant basis (ie. not having to look my process up in the table manually every time rather do it automatically from the script) and having a look at the Win32::Process module it seems to me that if I open the process that way I won't have handles to the STDIN and STDOUT of the process, while if I open it through Open2 (as I do currently) there is not a Win32::Process object on which I can perform $ProcessObj->SetPriorityClass($class). There seems to be no method for creating a Win32::Process object from a pid.

There seems to be no method for creating a Win32::Process object from a pid. Actually there is: `Win32::Process::Open( $obj, $pid, $iflags );` [download] `$pid` is an existingprocess id as return by `open2()`, `$obj` is a variable you pass in which gets set to a Win32::Process object handle. You can the call `->SetPriority()` on that. Eg. `use Win32::Process;; $pid = system 1, 'notepad';; ## The return from open2 should work just + as well. Win32::Process::Open( $o, $pid, 0 );; print $o;; Win32::Process=SCALAR(0x4073208) $o->SetPriorityClass( IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS );;` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
