Bug ID: 196232
Summary: man page for nice is wrong - Possibly issues with nice
as well
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When you type 'man nice' on a 9.1-RELEASE or a 10.1-RELEASE, you are given a
few examples, none which work.
First Example: nice -n 5 date
Running this produces:
nice: Badly formed number.
Additionally, it lists an example of "nice -n 16 nice -n -35 date" which also
doesn't work.
Lastly, nice itself may be buggy. I haven't needed to use it in years, but it
seems that it doesn't work as expected. Here's me trying a few commands.
nice -20 date - Works
nice 20 date - 20: Command not found.
nice -n 20 date - nice: Badly formed number.
nice -n20 date - nice: Badly formed number.
