Invokes a command with an
altered scheduling priority.
Syntax
nice [-increment | -n increment ] command [argument ... ]

increment |
increment must be in the range 1-19; if not
specified, an increment of 10 is assumed. An increment greater than 19 is equivalent to 19.
The super-user may run commands with priority higher than normal by using a negative increment such as -10. A negative increment assigned by an unprivileged user is ignored. |
| command |
The name of a command that is to be invoked. If command names any of the special built-in
utilities, the results are undefined. |
| argument |
Any string to be supplied as an argument when invoking command. |
Examples
nice +13 pico myfile.txt - runs the pico command
on myfile.txt with an increment of +13.
