Hello there,

I want to increase the performance of a DIVISION-application by running
the performer stuff with root permissions (allowing high priority,
processor locking etc.).

As I do not want to log in as root for some reason, I tried to set the
"sticky bit" for the "visual"-binary (wich behaves quite like a
performer application).
  
chmod a+s and chmod a+t let the process run with the permissions of the
owner of the binary instead with those of the actual user, but this does
NOT work if the owner is root.

Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks a lot and best wishes,

Oskar von Bohuszewicz
