The s6-nice program

s6-nice executes into a program with an altered nice value.

Interface

     s6-nice [ -I | -i ] [ -n value ] [ prog... ]

s6-nice acts as the generic nice utility.

Extra options

• -I : loose. If the nice value cannot be set to value, print a warning message and exec into prog... anyway. This is the default.
• -i : strict. If the nice value cannot be set to value, exit 111 with an error message.

Posixness

s6-nice is suitable as a Single Unix nice program.
