Have a look at "POSIX.4 Programming For The Real World" O'REILLY and ASSOCIATES
I dont know how must of this in in Linux now. There was some POSIX 4 patches
on sunsite and I think there in the 1.3.x kernels - not sure. This book
tells how to handle real-time problems under UNIX. From what I read
you want SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR but *not* SCHED_OTHER for real-time
apps. It depends very much on the details of your problem. Real time
POSIX 4 signals may also be helpful for you problem.
