# The `nice/renice` command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `nice/renice` commands is used to modify the priority of the program to be executed.
|
||
|
|
The priority range is between -20 and 19 where 19 is the lowest priority.
|
||
|
|
### Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Running cc command in the background with a lower priority than default (slower):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
nice -n 15 cc -c *.c &
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Increase the priority to all processes belonging to group "test":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
renice --20 -g test
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Syntax:
|
||
|
