> Execute a program with a custom scheduling priority (niceness).
> Niceness values range from -20 (the highest priority) to 19 (the lowest).
> Note: Some modern schedulers ignore niceness or limit its effects inside autogroups.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/nice-invocation.html>.
- Launch a program with altered priority:
- Print the current niceness value:

`nice`

- Increment the current niceness value by 10:

`nice nice`

- Launch a program with lowered priority:

`nice -{{niceness_value}} {{command}}`

- Launch a program with heightened priority:

`sudo nice --{{niceness_value}} {{command}}`

- Define the priority with an explicit option:

`nice {{[-n|--adjustment]}} {{niceness_value}} {{command}}`
