nice --
change or return process priority
Synopsis
nice [priorityincr]
Description
Changes or returns the process priority.
If priorityincr is omitted, the current priority is returned. If
priorityincr is positive, it is added to the current priority
level, up to a system defined maximum (normally 19).
Negative priorityincr values cumulatively increase the program's priority
down to a system defined minimum (normally -19);
increasing priority with negative niceness values will only work for the
superuser.
The new priority is returned.
