NICE(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              NICE(1)

NAME
     nice, nohup - run a command at low priority

SYNOPSIS
     nice [ -_n_u_m_b_e_r ] command [ arguments ]

     nohup command [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
     _N_i_c_e executes _c_o_m_m_a_n_d with low scheduling priority.  If the
     _n_u_m_b_e_r argument is present, the priority is incremented
     (higher numbers mean lower priorities) by that amount up to
     a limit of 20.  The default _n_u_m_b_e_r is 10.

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

     _N_o_h_u_p executes _c_o_m_m_a_n_d immune to hangup and terminate sig-
     nals from the controlling terminal.  The priority is incre-
     mented by 5.  _N_o_h_u_p should be invoked from the shell with
     `&' 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.

FILES
