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 person who logs in on
     the same terminal.
