Oscar,
A positive value is a LOWER priority. Right from the man page:
man nice:
Run COMMAND with an adjusted scheduling priority. With no
COMMAND, print the current scheduling priority. ADJUST is
10 by default. Range goes from -20 (highest priority) to
19 (lowest).
man renice:
Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of processes
they own, and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value''
within
the range 0 to PRIO_MAX (20). (This prevents overriding administrative
fiats.) The super-user may alter the priority of any process and set
the
priority to any value in the range PRIO_MIN (-20) to PRIO_MAX. Useful
priorities are: 20 (the affected processes will run only when nothing
else in the system wants to), 0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority),
any-
thing negative (to make things go very fast).
So using a NEGATIVE value increase the priority. Using a POSITIVE value
will decrease the priority.
Cheers,
James
