RENICE(1)                                 User Commands                                 RENICE(1)

NAME
       renice - alter priority of running processes

SYNOPSIS
       renice [-n] priority [-g|-p|-u] identifier...

DESCRIPTION
       renice  alters  the scheduling priority of one or more running processes.  The first argu-
       ment is the priority value to be used.  The other arguments are interpreted as process IDs
       (by  default),  process  group  IDs,  user IDs, or user names.  renice'ing a process group
       causes all processes in the process group  to  have  their  scheduling  priority  altered.
       renice'ing a user causes all processes owned by the user to have their scheduling priority
       altered.

OPTIONS
       -n, --priority priority
              Specify the scheduling priority to be used for the process, process group, or user.
              Use  of the option -n or --priority is optional, but when used it must be the first
              argument.

       -g, --pgrp
              Interpret the succeeding arguments as process group IDs.

       -p, --pid
              Interpret the succeeding arguments as process IDs (the default).

       -u, --user
              Interpret the succeeding arguments as usernames or UIDs.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

EXAMPLES
       The following command would change the priority of the processes with  PIDs  987  and  32,
       plus all processes owned by the users daemon and root:

              renice +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32

NOTES
       Users  other  than  the superuser may only alter the priority of processes they own.  Fur-
       thermore, an unprivileged user can only increase the ``nice value'' (i.e., choose a  lower
       priority)  and  such  changes  are irreversible unless (since Linux 2.6.12) the user has a
       suitable ``nice'' resource limit (see ulimit(1) and getrlimit(2)).

       The superuser may alter the priority of any process and set the priority to any  value  in
       the range -20 to 19.  Useful priorities are: 19 (the affected processes will run only when
       nothing else in the system wants to), 0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority), anything nega-
       tive (to make things go very fast).

FILES
       /etc/passwd
              to map user names to user IDs
