RENICE(8)                   System Manager's Manual                  RENICE(8)



NAME
       renice - alter priority of running process by changing nice

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/renice [ -pri ] pid ...

DESCRIPTION
       Renice alters the priority of the process with process-id pid.  The de‐
       fault pri is 19.  Changing the priority requires  permission  to  write
       /proc/pid  (see proc(4)), so only the super-user can alter an arbitrary
       process's priority.  Only the super-user can raise a  process's  prior‐
       ity.

FILES
       /proc/pid
