.I Nice

The default
.I number
is 10.
.PP
The super-user may run commands with
priority higher than normal
by using a negative
.I number,
e.g.
.LR --10 .
.PP
.I Nohup

.I command
immune to hangup and terminate signals from the controlling terminal.
The priority is incremented by 5.

with arguments in inner quotes.
