17 | _\bN_\bi_\bc_\be executes _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd with low scheduling priority. If the | |
18 | _\bn_\bu_\bm_\bb_\be_\br argument is present, the priority is incremented | |
19 | (higher numbers mean lower priorities) by that amount up to | |
20 | a limit of 20. The default _\bn_\bu_\bm_\bb_\be_\br is 10. | |
21 | ||
22 | The super-user may run commands with priority higher than | |
23 | normal by using a negative priority, e.g. `--10'. | |
24 | ||
25 | _\bN_\bo_\bh_\bu_\bp executes _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd immune to hangup and terminate sig- | |
26 | nals from the controlling terminal. The priority is incre- | |
27 | mented by 5. _\bN_\bo_\bh_\bu_\bp should be invoked from the shell with | |
28 | `&' in order to prevent it from responding to interrupts by | |
29 | or stealing the input from the next person who logs in on | |
30 | the same terminal. | |

43 | _\bN_\bi_\bc_\be and _\bn_\bo_\bh_\bu_\bp are particular to _\bs_\bh(1). If you use _\bc_\bs_\bh(1), | |
44 | then commands executed with ``&'' are automatically immune | |
45 | to hangup signals while in the background. There is a buil- | |
46 | tin command _\bn_\bo_\bh_\bu_\bp which provides immunity from terminate, | |
47 | but it does not redirect output to _\bn_\bo_\bh_\bu_\bp._\bo_\bu_\bt. | |
48 | ||
49 | _\bN_\bi_\bc_\be is built into _\bc_\bs_\bh(1) with a slightly different syntax | |
50 | than described here. The form ``nice +10'' nices to posi- | |
51 | tive nice, and ``nice -10'' can be used by the super-user to | |
52 | give a process more of the processor. | |
