SYNOPSIS

9       nice [ -number ] command [ arguments ]

11       nohup command [ arguments ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Nice  executes  command  with  low  scheduling priority.  If the number
15       argument is present, the priority is incremented (higher  numbers  mean
16       lower priorities) by that amount up to a limit of 20.  The default num‐
17       ber is 10.
18
19       The super-user may run commands with priority  higher  than  normal  by
20       using a negative priority, e.g. `--10'.
21
22       Nohup  executes command immune to hangup and terminate signals from the
23       controlling terminal.  The priority is incremented by 5.  Nohup  should
24       be invoked from the shell with `&' in order to prevent it from respond‐
25       ing to interrupts by or stealing the input from  the  next  person  who
26       logs in on the same terminal.
