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
