| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 5 | \fBnice\fP [\fB\-n\fP increment] \fIutility\fP [\fIargument\fP...]
|
|---|
| 6 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 7 | The
|
|---|
| 8 | .B nice
|
|---|
| 9 | utility runs \fIutility\fP at a different scheduling priority than
|
|---|
| 10 | the default. The nicer the process is to others (the higher the
|
|---|
| 11 | increment), the less favourable the scheduling is. Super-users
|
|---|
| 12 | can give a negative increment, meaning scheduling is more favourable
|
|---|
| 13 | than the default.

| 15 | .TP
|
|---|
| 16 | .B \-n \fIincrement
|
|---|
| 17 | the increment value sets how nice the invoked command will be. 0 is
|
|---|
| 18 | the same priority as regular processes. 10 is the default.
|
|---|
| 19 | The range is -20 to 20.
