Hi,
I am using QNX RTP 6.1 & ksh (default) and I have a question (see subj). I’ve tried to use “on”
command and it seems to work. Is there other way to launch app from shell (console) and set its
priority? I have not found answer in helpviewer->ksh, is it wrong place for search?
How can I read helpfiles in Neutrino (without Photon)? I am newbie and I really need something like
linux’s man.
Thanks in advance,
Eduard.

If you look in the Utilities Reference’s keyword index under “priority,”
you’ll find entries for nice and renice. Do these help?
As for the “man” command, many QNX commands will give you a summary if
you type:
use
For example:
use nice

I’ll try it at home, I’m currently under windows…

Thanks I know, but “man” command seems to be more powerfull. “use” looks as “command --help” in
linux (it’s true for gnu tools in QNX 
), but “man command” makes a different sense. Actually,
I’m too lazy to run Photon in order to launch helpviewer, and I ask a question about textmode
(console) helpviewer
Is there a way to mix graphic (Photon) and text consoles in QNX? I have 4 consoles, but I can not
reach them as soon as Photon runs. I don’t quite like pterm in Photon , but I’ll happy to lose
first 4 consoles in Photon if I’ll get the text consoles at the place.
Thank you again,
Eduard.

I launch helpviewer, then I type “priority” in the search box and click “Go”. I get 5 references,
but nothing about “nice” (this is one which I’ve forgotten). Then I mark “Search Topic Text”
checkbox and I have got a ton of references, but for “nice” too.
Thank you,
Eduard.

I wasn’t referring to the search box. It can be useful, but not when you’re
searching for a commonly used word such as “priority.”
Almost all of our printed books have an index; the HTML books have an online,
hyperlinked version. If you open a book in the Helpviewer’s Topics tree,
you’ll see Keyword Index as the last entry. You can also click on one of the
buttons (the one with a hand pointing at a page of text) at the top and bottom
of each help file.

Excuse my ignorance, that’s just because I’ve a stupid association “index->database->search engine”
I guess it should be useful and for commonly used words if “Search Topic Text” is unchecked
(default). I have found (href secquence) Utilities Reference->Utilities->Process manipulation.
“Process manipulation” is a quite good title for that utilities group, but this title prevents this
topic to be found by search engine. Why search engine does not use information from Keyword index?
I had a look at files under /usr/help/ and I’d found the help files are in html format. So I think
I can use lynx in order to read docs under Neutrino (in a text mode)
Thank you very much for help.
Best regards,
Eduard.
