It's compatible with the current behavior, as well as accepting -n (just strips the -n if it exists). I also added an -a option, which allows you to renice multiple processes matching a name, similar to killall. bash-2.05$ ./renice -n 10 [ -a ] bash 6583: old priority 0, new priority 10 4849: old priority 0, new priority 10 4145: old priority 0, new priority 10 for example... But I wanted to do a little work to the manpage yet... I've also done several others.. nice, wc, uudecode, and had planned on doing several more.
