.TH NICE 1
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
nice \- invoke command with higher or lower scheduling priority
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBnice\fP [\fB\-n\fP increment] \fIutility\fP [\fIargument\fP...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B nice
|
|
utility runs \fIutility\fP at a different scheduling priority than
|
|
the default. The nicer the process is to others (the higher the
|
|
increment), the less favourable the scheduling is. Super-users
|
|
can give a negative increment, meaning scheduling is more favourable
|
|
than the default.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n \fIincrement
|
|
the increment value sets how nice the invoked command will be. 0 is
|
|
the same priority as regular processes. 10 is the default.
|
|
The range is -20 to 20.
