NICE(1) General Commands Manual NICE(1) NAME nice, nohup - run a command at low priority SYNOPSIS nice [ -number ] command [ arguments ] nohup command [ arguments ] DESCRIPTION Nice executes command with low scheduling priority. If the number ar- gument is present, the priority is incremented (higher numbers mean lower priorities) by that amount up to a limit of 20. The default num- ber is 10. The super-user may run commands with priority higher than normal by us- ing a negative priority, e.g. `--10'. Nohup executes command immune to hangup and terminate signals from the controlling terminal. The priority is incremented by 5. Nohup should be invoked from the shell with `&' in order to prevent it from respond- ing to interrupts by or stealing the input from the next person who logs in on the same terminal.
