_n_i_c_e executes _c_o_m_m_a_n_d with a lower CPU scheduling priority.
If the _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t argument (in the range 1-20) is given, it is used; if
not, an increment of 10 is assumed.
The invoking process (generally the user's shell) must be in the time-
sharing scheduling class.
The super-user may run commands with priority higher than normal by using
a negative increment, e.g., --------11110000.

_n_i_c_e returns the exit status of the subject command.

_c_s_h(1) users beware: _c_s_h(1) has a builtin _n_i_c_e command which has
different syntax and semantics than _n_i_c_e(1).
