 : Today's Tip Unix Tip #4510- July 17, 2025
 
 
NICE NOT SO NICE 
Nice is nice, but it
 isn't so nice sometimes
 on foreground jobs.
 
 The reason, if the system
 gets really busy your
 terminal session could hang
 waiting to get more CPU
 time.
 
 It is possible that killing
 the job becomes impossible
 on a very system, since
 the CPU may never give the
 process enough CPU time to
 recognize the kill signal
 waiting.
 
 Using nice on an interactive
 program, like vi, could
 also be a bad idea.
 
 So play nice, with nice.
