Who starts the OS process scheduler?

228 Views Asked by At

The scheduler manages the OS processes. But isn't the scheduler a process itself? If so, who manages it? And i assume the scheduler needs the processor itself to run, so how does all this happen? In my head its like the chicken and egg situation.

The Linux scheduler is implemented in the kernel itself; it's not itself a separate process that needs to be scheduled.
