\fBjackd\fR invokes the JACK audio server daemon. The \fBjackstart\fR
command provides JACK's built\-in support for Linux 2.4.x kernels with
the realtime capabilities patch. Use \fBjackd\fR for Linux 2.6.x and
all other systems. All parameters are the same.

Use realtime scheduling (default = true). This is needed for reliable low\-latency

special scheduler and memory allocation privileges, which may be
obtained in several ways. The simplest, and least-secure method is to
run \fBjackd\fR with root privileges. This means that all JACK
clients must also run as root. With a Linux 2.6 kernel, ordinary
users can run \fBjackd\fR and its clients using options of the
realtime LSM. Linux 2.4 kernels need "POSIX draft capabilities"
enabled (see the \fB<linux/capability.h>\fR include file). Using that
method, ordinary users who invoke the daemon using \fBjackstart\fR,
can later launch JACK clients without running them as root. See
