The return code says it was successful.  And I performed 3 commands to
further check:
[#HN#] top
[#HN#]$ more /proc/12784/status
[#VE200#] top

The results are below, making it appear to be successful.   What else
can I try or what debugging flags are there to see info about the
scheduler or where in the code does the cpu limit get enforced (and do
kernel threads get checked in that code)... or what are the right
questions for me to ask you guys?

Thanks for your help,
Eric
