NAME
       nice - invoke command with higher or lower scheduling priority

SYNOPSIS
       nice [-n increment] utility [argument...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  nice  utility runs utility at a different scheduling priority than
       the default. The nicer the process is to others (the higher the	incre‐
       ment),  the  less  favourable the scheduling is. Super-users can give a
       negative increment, meaning scheduling  is  more	 favourable  than  the
       default.

OPTIONS
       -n increment
	      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.

SEE ALSO
       getpriority(2), setpriority(2)
