Hi Bote, I believe priority works in a similar way to metric (i.e. lower comes first), so -20 (most favorable scheduling) to +19 (least favorable scheduling). -rp -- enable high(realtime) priority settings -lp -- enable low priority settings -np -- enable normal priority settings (system default) Source: https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Command_line Hope this helps.

It is currently running at “very low” priority according to Resource Monitor in the GUI and ‘top’ reports FS is running at priority = -2 (that’s negative two) and nice = 19 So with the way FreeSWITCH is now launched by systemd is it considered a service or a user application that is simply run in the background? This affects how systemd treats its control groups and priority and how I will go about troubleshooting this. Thanks.
