RUNON(1)                                                              RUNON(1)



NAME
     runon - run a command on a particular cpu

SYNOPSIS
     runon n command [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
     runon executes command, assigning it to run only on cpu n, where n varies
     between 0 and the number of processors on the system minus one.  (For
     single-processor systems, then, there is only cpu 0.)

     This cpu affinity is inherited across fork() and exec() system calls.  A
     sysmp(2) call can change the cpu affinity.  Note that command may still
     run on other processors, briefly, to perform i/o or other hardware-
     specific actions.

SEE ALSO
     mpadmin(1), sysmp(2).

WARNINGS
     In the case of the following command

          runon 1 command1; command2

     runon applies only to command1.  The command

          runon 2 (command1; command2)

     is syntactically incorrect.
