 Which shell are you using?  Most shells have their own version of nice
 with different syntax than nice(1). e.g. :
 
 [simon@arthur:~] nice -n 10 echo Hello
 nice: Badly formed number.
 [simon@arthur:~] /usr/bin/nice -n 10 echo Hello
 Hello
 [simon@arthur:~] nice +10 echo Hello
 Hello
 
 =46rom nice(1) :
 
      Some shells may provide a builtin nice command which is similar or ide=
 n-
      tical to this utility.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
 
 It think this is what you are seeing.
