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 signals from the controlling terminal.  The priority  is  incremented  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 per-
       son who logs in on the same terminal.
