[-- Attachment #1 --] What shell are you running? Because I know for a fact that tcsh has a build-in nice command with a different syntax than /usr/bin/nice. And the man page is for /usr/bin/nice. Just type "which nice" to determine whether your nice is an internal shell command or an external binary. -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Alban Hertroys Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2000 8:09 AM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: man nice(1) Is it just me or is the man page for nice in error? It says I have to specify a nice value of (+)20 as "nice -20" and a nice value of -20 as "nice --20". running "nice -20" results in a nice value of -20, though, while "nice --20" says: nice: Badly formed number. Eventually it turned out I had to do "nice +20" ... The man page of renice does state the nice value parameters correctly, which causes a confusing difference between the two commands. This is with a somewhat older 4.0-STABLE. I found this when trying a buildworld "nicely", as my system hottens up a tiny bit to much somewhere (probably my pci viper550 with bad fan) causing spontaneous reboots after a couple of hours. -- Alban Hertroys http://wit401310.student.utwente.nl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I think, therefore I drink. - Lazarus - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 01 0 + 0 *H 00 ]0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.160 000404110825Z 010404110825Z0D1 0 UThawte Freemail Member1!0 *H cjm2@earthling.net00 *H 0 eǍ. s2#^ byHXMAZ^yDWX#J#m霰 pZd QmVE:hֽܳ=RO_ `kI?g|R1 P0N0 U 0cjm2@earthling.net0 U 0 0 U #0`fUXF a#Ì0 *H ƈ~ᱭKؼc@չ?]v͕( ;}>Yp tu \&ߩVJ9ulwR }qc F zw3Rb Zt:kӠ00} 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 990916140140Z 010915140140Z01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.1600 *H 0 iZ z]!#rLK~r$BRW{azr98e^eyvL>hpu t ,O 1ArƦ]D.Mօ>lx~@эWs0FO 7050U 0 0 U #0rIs4U vr~wƲ0 *H kY1rr`HU{gapm¥7؝(V\uoƑlfq|ko!6- -mƃRt\~ orzg,ks n Νc) ~U0-0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 960101000000Z 201231235959Z01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com00 *H 0 id[qG Qr^}- {߅%u(t:B,c'{K~ ݹΖdnD|Mq @8 x^^v]nz| KU)&j8$jDZڣyZ 00U 00 *H ~Ngb*M`o`Xa&R5\0J bB#dG)ߝ^l`q\yn G (|_#& sC%/u Qkw10001 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.16]0 + K0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 000702143154Z0# *H 1uGM\K=0< *H 1/0-0+0 *H (0+0 *H 0 +71001 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.16]0 *H nZ,GշDTncڰR64_{Er;υ.)0Z_L^ # ] w RMi(^ Ƭ c|S~cS0w ~ڀd_$
