	  usage: nice [-n PRIORITY] command [args...]

	  Run a command line at an increased or decreased scheduling priority.

	  Higher numbers make a program yield more CPU time, from -20 (highest
	  priority) to 19 (lowest).  By default processes inherit their parent's
	  niceness (usually 0).  By default this command adds 10 to the parent's
	  priority.  Only root can set a negative niceness level.
