</pre>

<p>

<a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/nice.html">nice</a> utility.
</p>

<h2> Extra options </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>-I</tt>&nbsp;: loose. If the nice value cannot be set to <em>value</em>,
print a warning message and exec into <em>prog...</em> anyway. This is the default. </li>
 <li> <tt>-i</tt>&nbsp;: strict. If the nice value cannot be set to <em>value</em>,
exit 111 with an error message.
</ul>
