Author limit process to processor

HI all,

Can someone please help me out? Is there a way to limit a process to run
on only one processor on a multiprocessor SUN box. I read you can use
psrset to create processor sets, but then what? The system is on Solaris
9. Thanks for the help!

You can use pbind, but I have to ask why do you want to do this? Solaris'
scheduler is pretty good...

Well use

psrset -c 2 3 (put processors 2 & 3 in a processor set
which is created - the command returns the processor set ID).

Then use:
psrset -b <processor_set_id> <pid>
