runclass(1)
NAME
  runclass - Runs a command in a specific scheduling class

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/runclass class_name command [argument ...]

OPERANDS
  argument
	  An argument to the command being run.

  class_name
	  The name of the scheduling class in which the command is run.

  command The command being run.

DESCRIPTION
  The runclass utility lets you run a command (including any of its
  arguments) in a scheduling class. All the threads created by the command
  process, and its subprocesses, inherit the class binding. Unless the user
  entering the runclass command has superuser authority, the allotted CPU
  percentage of the specified class may not be higher than the user's current
  class (if any).

  If class scheduling is not enabled, the runclass command terminates and
  does not execute the requested command.

NOTES
  Scheduling classes are usually created by the class_admin command, which
  also allows you to move processes to a scheduling class after they start.
  The runclass command is the way you can execute an application so that its
  processes automatically start up in a scheduling class.

  The runclass command changes the process group of itself and all processes
  created by it.  This means that if runclass is executed from a script,
  entering Control C from the terminal will not kill these processes. In this
  case, using the kill command is required.
