SYNTAX
nice [ -increment ] command [ arguments ]
DESCRIPTION
Nice executes command with a lower CPU scheduling priority. If
the increment argument (in the range 1-19) is given, it is used;
if not, an increment of 10 is assumed. Increments greater than
19 are taken as 19.
The super-user may run commands with priority higher than normal
by using a negative increment, e.g.,
nice -- 10

provided the user is a super-user.
