nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority

Author

       Written by David MacKenzie.

Description

       Run  COMMAND  with  an  adjusted  niceness, which affects process scheduling.  With no COMMAND, print the
       current niceness.  Niceness values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least  favorable
       to the process).

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -n, --adjustment=N
              add integer N to the niceness (default 10)

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       Your shell may have its own version of nice, which usually supersedes the version described here.  Please
       refer to your shell's documentation for details about the options it supports.

   Exitstatus:
       125    if the nice command itself fails

       126    if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked

       127    if COMMAND cannot be found

       -      the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
