<br></div></div>Per the initial post, the rules would appear to have different<br>priorities and the /lower/ priority rule was being scheduled, hence<br>why I asked. David stated (I may have read more into it than he posted<br>
though) that "When two schedules match the same program, the more<br>specific rule generally wins regardless of the priorities". Therefore,<br>if the rules have the same specificity, than the earlier rule wins and<br>
not the rule with higher priority..</blockquote>
