RENICE(2)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            RENICE(2)

NAME
     renice - set program priority

SYNOPSIS
     renice(pid, nice)

DESCRIPTION
     _R_e_n_i_c_e sets the scheduling priority of the process with id
     _p_i_d to _n_i_c_e.  The super-user may _r_e_n_i_c_e any process to any
     value from -127 to 127.  Other users may only increase the
     nice value of one of their own processes.

ERRORS
     _R_e_n_i_c_e will fail and the process's scheduling priority will
     be unaltered if:

     [EPERM]             The named process's effective user ID is
                         not the same as the calling process and
                         the process's effective user ID is not
                         the super-user.

     [ESRCH]             The named process does not exist.
