CpuSet Feature While Using Upmpdcli

[PeteCallaghan]

I made an error in my script. The pgrep was returning both mpd and upmpdcli processes because it was matching 'mpd' in both process names. 

This version matches exactly 'mpd' and only finds one pid, using the '-x' option in pgrep

Code:

pids=$(pgrep -x mpd)
for pid in $pids
do
chrt -r -p 99 $pid
cset proc --move  --threads --toset=user --force --pid=$pid
done

I am running upmpdcli as the music server, which uses mpd as the player. 

Using cpuset I have successfully got both mpd and upmpdcli running in the user cpuset, and mpd running with RT priority, which sounds pretty good. 

However, I suspect that it would be beneficial to run mpd alone in the user cpuset, with upmpdcli in the system cpuset. 

However I can't figure out how to achieve this. Any suggestions? 

I could de-select upmpdcli as the music server and use mpd instead, but then I would need to lanch upmpdcli outside snakeoil. What would be the best way to do this?
