-====== Processes - Change process priority ======
-Use **nice** and **renice** commands. -20 highest priority,  19 lowest.
-===== Start process at lowest priority =====
-<code bash>
-nice -n 19 ./process_intensive_task
-</code>
-===== Change priority of running process =====
-Assuming the PID of the process to change is 123:
-<code bash>
-renice -1 123
-</code>
-This will set the priority of process id no 2345 to -4, which will in turn increase its priority over others.
-<code bash>
-renice -4 -p 2345
-</code>
-This will set the priority of the process id 3456 to 13, and all the process owned by user "john" to the priority of 15.
-<code bash>
-renice 13 -p 3456 -u john 15
-</code>
-This will set all process owned by "john","peter" and also the group "custom" to 14.
-<code bash>
-renice 14 -u john,peter -g custom
