How does the nice value affect process priority? How and why can nice values be altered?
What will be an ideal response?
A negative nice value increases the likelihood that the process will receive more time slices, whereas a positive nice value does the opposite.?All users can be "nice" to other users of the same computer by lowering the priority of their own processes by increasing their nice value. However, only the root user has the ability to increase the priority of a process by lowering its nice value.?Processes are started with a nice value of 0 by default. To start a process with a nice value of +19 (low priority), you can use the nice command and specify the nice value using the -n option and the command to start. If the -n option is omitted, a nice value of +10 is assumed.?After a process has been started, you can change its priority by using the renice command and specifying the change to the nice value as well as the PID of the processes to change.
