Name
       nice, nohup - execute a command at a lower priority

Syntax
       nice [-number] command [arguments]

       nohup command [arguments]

Description
       The command executes command with low scheduling priority (Bourne Shell
       only).  If the number argument is present, the priority is  incremented
       (higher	numbers mean lower priorities) by that amount up to a limit of
       20.  The default number is 10.

       The super-user may run commands with priority  higher  than  normal  by
       using a negative priority, for example, `--10'.

       The  command  executes  command	immune to hangup and terminate signals
       from the controlling terminal.  The priority is incremented by 5.   The
       command should be invoked from the shell with an ampersand (&) in order
       to prevent it from responding to interrupts by or  stealing  the	 input
       from  the  next person who logs in on the same terminal.	 The syntax of
       is also different.

Options
       -number		   Increments the priority by a specified number up to
			   a limit of 20.  The default is 10.

Restrictions
       The  and	 commands  are particular to If you use then commands executed
       with an ampersand (&) are automatically immune to hangup signals	 while
       in the background.  There is a built-in command which provides immunity
       from terminate, but it does not redirect output to nohup.out.

       The command is  built  into  with  a  slightly  different  syntax  than
       described  here.	  The  form  ``nice  +10'' nices to positive nice, and
       ``nice -10'' can be used by the superuser to give a process more of the
       processor.

Diagnostics
       The command returns the exit status of the subject command.

Files
       nohup.out standard output and standard error file under nohup
