[Users] HELP:How can one VM interrupt another running VM ??

[shule ney]

Thanks Daniel, but it's not interrupt for that thread/process, the nice
value just set higher priority, what I want to do is like stop the current
running process in one VM, context swiching to another process in another
VM, when this process finishes, switch back to the original VM, of
course this preempting VM has higher nice value. Is it possible?
