Command to modify the niceness or process priority of a running command in the terminal

Comment

$ sudo renice -n <priority_value> -p <pid>
	# check for the pid using
$ ps -l
# By default, only a superuser can decrease the niceness;
# i.e., increase the priority.
# However, you can allow normal users to decrease their niceness within a range,
# by editing the following file: /etc/security/limits.conf.
