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 argument is present, the priority is incremented
(higher numbers mean lower priorities) by that amount up to
a limit of 20. The default number is 10.
The super-user may run commands with priority higher than
normal by using a negative priority, e.g. `--10'.
Nohup executes command immune to hangup and terminate sig-
nals from the controlling terminal. The priority is incre-
mented by 5. Nohup 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.
