User Guide for adjusting process priority in Linux using the renice command.
Here is a guide on how to use the renice command to adjust the priority of a process.
- The basic syntax of the renice command is as follows:
- renice [-n
] [-g|p|u ] - Priority increment (-n): Use the -n parameter to specify the priority increment for the process being adjusted. The range of values for the priority increment is from -20 to 19, with smaller values indicating higher priority.
- Process group/process number/user name (-g/-p/-u): Use the -g, -p, or -u parameter to specify the process group, process number, or user name for which you want to adjust the priority. Multiple parameters can be used simultaneously to specify multiple processes.

renice -n 5 -p 1234 - Decrease the priority of all processes with the username john by 2 levels:
renice -n -2 -u john - Increase the priority of all processes with process group ID 5678 by 10:
renice -n 10 -g 5678 - The command “renice” requires root privileges or to be run as the owner of the process.
Please take note:
- Processes with smaller priority increments have higher priority.
- Only the root user or the process owner can increase the priority of a process.
- Please use the “renice” command with caution, as adjusting the priority may impact the performance and stability of the system.
