NNAAMMEE
nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
nniiccee [-n adjustment] [-adjustment] [--adjust-
ment=adjustment] [command [arg...]]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
This manual page documents the GNU version of nniiccee. If no
arguments are given, nniiccee prints the current sheduling
priority, which it inherited. Otherwise, nniiccee runs the
given _c_o_m_m_a_n_d with its scheduling priority adjusted. If
no _a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t is given, the priority of the command is
incremented by 10. The superuser can specify a negative
adjustment. The priority can be adjusted by nniiccee over the
range of -20 (the highest priority) to 19 (the lowest).
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_-_n _a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t_, _-_a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t_, _-_-_a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t_=_a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t
Add _a_d_j_u_s_t_m_e_n_t instead of 10 to the command's pri-
ority.
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well
as `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Even-
tually support for `+' will be removed, because it is
incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
