nice is a program found on Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. It directly maps to a kernel call of the same name. nice is used to invoke a utility or shell script with a particular CPU priority, thus giving the process more or less CPU time than other processes. A niceness of −20 is the lowest niceness, or highest priority. The default niceness for processes is inherited from its parent process and is usually 0.
