The reason there is only one forum is that adding another forum complicates things. Right now, there is 'UNIX for Dummies'. If we add, UNIX, Advanced Topics (just one more) then what happens when 'UNIX for Dummies Questions' get posted in the 'Advanced UNIX' area? Or the other way?

Also having an advanced topic forum creates the problem of having problems with 'status'. People who answer in 'UNIX for Dummies' might not want to continue to participate in 'UNIX for Dummies' when they are active in 'UNIX for Advanced Users' (or something like that).

In other words, I don't think we are ready to fork another child forum just yet. Maybe later?

NICE(2) 						     Linux Programmer's Manual							   NICE(2)

NAME
nice - change process priority SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int nice(int inc); DESCRIPTION
nice adds inc to the nice value for the calling pid. (A large nice value means a low priority.) Only the superuser may specify a negative increment, or priority increase. RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
EPERM A non-super user attempts to do a priority increase by supplying a negative inc. CONFORMING TO
SVr4, SVID EXT, AT&T, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3. However, the Linux and glibc (earlier than glibc 2.2.4) return value is nonstandard, see below. SVr4 documents an additional EINVAL error code. NOTES
Note that the routine is documented in SUSv2 to return the new nice value, while the Linux syscall and (g)libc (earlier than glibc 2.2.4) routines return 0 on success. The new nice value can be found using getpriority(2). Note that an implementation in which nice returns the new nice value can legitimately return -1. To reliably detect an error, set errno to 0 before the call, and check its value when nice returns -1. SEE ALSO
