- bboreham 5y ago“nice” in Unix is a way to lower the priority of a process, so that others are more likely to be scheduled. Eg https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html
- chrisoverzero 5y agoIt’s the kinds of values for things like `nice(2)`: https://linux.die.net/man/2/nice https://linux.die.net/man/2/nice In short, an offset from the base process priority.
