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

    _n_o_h_u_p
