RT scheduling does not change dynamic priority while running wheras normal scheduling does (between 100-139). top shows the value of the current dynamic priority in the PRI column as the current dynamic priority-100. If you have a real time task in top it shows as a -ve value. ps -Al seems to show the current dynamic priority+60.
