https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196232 Bug ID: 196232 Summary: man page for nice is wrong - Possibly issues with nice as well Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: chris@acsi.ca When you type 'man nice' on a 9.1-RELEASE or a 10.1-RELEASE, you are given a few examples, none which work. First Example: nice -n 5 date Running this produces: nice: Badly formed number. Additionally, it lists an example of "nice -n 16 nice -n -35 date" which also doesn't work. Lastly, nice itself may be buggy. I haven't needed to use it in years, but it seems that it doesn't work as expected. Here's me trying a few commands. nice -20 date - Works nice 20 date - 20: Command not found. nice -n 20 date - nice: Badly formed number. nice -n20 date - nice: Badly formed number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
