You can verify whether the real-time scheduler is active with
the <command>ps</command> command:

<para>
The <varname>CLS</varname> column shows the CPU scheduler;
<parameter>TS</parameter> is the normal scheduler;
<parameter>FF</parameter> and <parameter>RR</parameter> are
real-time schedulers. In this example, two threads use the
real-time scheduler: the <command>output</command> thread and
the <command>rtio</command> (real-time I/O) thread; these two
are the important ones. The database update thread uses the
idle scheduler ("<parameter>IDL</parameter> in
<command>ps</command>), which only gets CPU when no other
process needs it.
