LOL, sorry, if you read the manual for nice (1), you'll see how to use the
command more thoroughly. But basically, you type:
nice # CMD
Where:
# is a number from -20 (highest) to 20 (lowest), which is the priority at
which the command runs.
CMD is a command string.
So you could do something like:
nice -20 speech-dispatcher
To run speech-dispatcher with the highest priority, or:
nice 20tar xf archive.tar.gz
To untar archive.tar.gz with the lowest priority.
Nice without arguments shows the current niceness (has always been 0 -
average for me).
HTH,
Chris Norman
