You mean I should call chrt from the command line after starting the process, to modify its priority?

This documentation for the posix-realtime package says that it has a sched_setscheduler function. That supposedly exists on my OS (OS X 10.9). The chrt command, on the other hand, it does not recognize.

Doh! Right. So probably this then?

Possibly, although I think you'll find that specifying a realtime scheduler class requires extra permissions, so `sudo chrt ...` will be more helpful unless you can manipulate your account's or the program's Linux kernel capabilities.
