[Detlef Lechner]

Hallo Liste,

Woher kommt die Wortwahl für 'nice'?
man nice: "nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority.
SYNOPSIS: nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...]. DESCRIPTION: Run  COMMAND
with  an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no
COMMAND, print the current niceness.  Nicenesses range from -20 (most
favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable)."
