For Increase or decrease the priority of a job/Process we
use Nice command,and its range -19 to 20.
If When we need to increase the priority then we need to
decrease the priority number
if Priority of a process 1.
Ex:- Nice -n -10 <cmd>
If we need to decrease the priority then we need to increase
the priority number
if Priority of a process -1.
Ex:- Nice -n 10 <cmd>
