you can use this systemd unit params

• Nice=-19
• CPUSchedulingPolicy=fifo
• CPUSchedulingPriority=1
• CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_SYS_ADMIN

But I not sure that permission for manage threads scheduler and priority is provider to FreeSwitch process.
Need write some test module that provide functions to start thread with given scheduler and priority.

More details

That my note to remember that want create one more PR after this resolved.

[mjerris]

please let me know if you find a systemd way to manage this.

[sergey-safarov]

I can find way if added FS commands like

utils thread start sheduler ${sheduler_var} priority ${priority_var} nice {nice_var}

If FreeSwitch able start thread, then report

Thread started with ${sheduler_var} priority ${priority_var} nice {nice_var}

If FreeSwitch cannot start thread, then report

FreeSwitch cannot start thread with ${sheduler_var} priority ${priority_var} nice {nice_var}

[mjerris]

this seems useful for testing but it does not answer the question. we need to validate if there is a way to do this

[sergey-safarov]

I will able validate if freeswitch will have validation tool.
