NAME
     nice - run a command at low priority

SYNOPSIS
     nice [ -n increment | -increment ] command [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
     nice executes command with a lower CPU scheduling priority.

     If the increment 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., --10.

SEE ALSO
     csh(1), nohup(1), nice(2)

DIAGNOSTICS
     nice returns the exit status of the subject command.

NOTES
     csh(1) users beware:  csh(1) has a builtin nice command which has
     different syntax and semantics than nice(1).
