No. It can do more: it supports SCHED_ISO and SCHED_IDLE (from patched
kernels) for instance, as well as SCHED_BATCH which is now in mainline
kernel. It regroups all its features in a single executable, which is
very easy to use and to integrate in scripts. Finally, it's up-to-date
and well updated upstream, contrary to (afaict) schedutils, which
hasn't been updated in years.
