$ nice <command> &
	# The default is to adjust the niceness by 10.
	# However, to set a value, use any of the following command:
$ nice -n <your_value> <command> &
	# Do note that the niceness value ranges from
    # -20(Least nice and highest priority) to +19(Very nice nice and lowest priority)
    # to check the niceness of any process, run:
$ ps -l
	# look out for the NI column.
