NICE(1L) NICE(1L) 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. 1
