+.Sh NAME
+.Nm renice
+.Nd alter priority of running processes
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm renice
+.Ar priority
+.Oo
+.Op Fl p
+.Ar pid ...
+.Oc
+.Oo
+.Op Fl g
+.Ar pgrp ...
+.Oc
+.Oo
+.Op Fl u
+.Ar user ...
+.Oc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Renice
+alters the
+scheduling priority of one or more running processes.
+The following
+.Ar who
+parameters are interpreted as process ID's, process group
+ID's, or user names.
+.Nm Renice Ns 'ing
+a process group causes all processes in the process group
+to have their scheduling priority altered.
+.Nm Renice Ns 'ing
+a user causes all processes owned by the user to have
+their scheduling priority altered.
+By default, the processes to be affected are specified by
+their process ID's.
+.Pp
+Options supported by
+.Nm renice :
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl g
+Force
+.Ar who
+parameters to be interpreted as process group ID's.
+.It Fl u
+Force the
+.Ar who
+parameters to be interpreted as user names.
+.It Fl p
+Resets the
+.Ar who
+interpretation to be (the default) process ID's.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset
+renice +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32
+.Ed
+.Pp
+would change the priority of process ID's 987 and 32, and
+all processes owned by users daemon and root.
+.Pp
+Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of
+processes they own,
+and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value''
+within the range 0 to
+.Dv PRIO_MAX
+(20).
+(This prevents overriding administrative fiats.)
+The super-user
+may alter the priority of any process
+and set the priority to any value in the range
+.Dv PRIO_MIN
+(\-20)
+to
+.Dv PRIO_MAX .
+Useful priorities are:
+20 (the affected processes will run only when nothing else
+in the system wants to),
+0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority),
+anything negative (to make things go very fast).
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /etc/passwd -compact
+.It Pa /etc/passwd
+to map user names to user ID's
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr getpriority 2 ,
+.Xr setpriority 2
+.Sh BUGS
+Non super-users can not increase scheduling priorities of their own processes,
+even if they were the ones that decreased the priorities in the first place.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
