Date: 10 Aug 1994 19:30:44 GMT Organization: University of North Texas Lines: 18 Message-ID: <32b9t4$qr7@hermes.unt.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: dale.hsc.unt.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I checked the man pages on 'nice' and it says nice --n command should increase the priority to the negative (better), well I continually get 'Badly formed number'. However 'nice -10 command' works, but what I actually want it 'nice --10 command'. This is with NEtBSD 0.9. If you have a solution please let me know. -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- wilsonm@dale.hsc.unt.edu 1:130/28@fidonet.org Mike Wilson 817-735-5403 (work) TCOM, Senior Network Tech. 817-220-2000 (BBS) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
