Maybe something like:
static const unsigned epicsThreadPriorityIocsh = 91;
static const unsigned epicsThreadPriorityNetworkDaemons = 95;
static const unsigned epicsThreadPriorityBaseMax = 91; <<<Still waiting for you folks to come up with a better name... >>>

Then EPICS applications could still have priorities higher than the shell but lower than the network daemons, or even priorities higher than the network daemons as necessary.


Why not just have


static const unsigned epicsThreadPriorityBaseMax = 91;

Then iocsh could just use this as it's priority.

epicsThreadPriorityNetworkDaemons doesn't sound like an epics base issue. It is an OS epecific issue, e.g. it is an RTEMS issue. If we add it it will, at least for now, be used only for RTEMS. Does it even make sense for systems where iocCore is running in user space? Thus at leats for now it will only apply to RTEMS.

On vxWorks I am really afraid of allowing any user thread to be higher priority than the network threads. This caused failures in the past.
