Fill in the blank with the appropriate command to complete the statement below. In order to run the
httpd process with the highest priority, you will issue the _______ command to change the priority
level of the httpd process.

A.
nice

Explanation:
The nice command is used to change the priority of a process in the kernel’s
scheduler.

A niceness of -20 is the highest priority and 19 is the lowest priority. The default niceness for
processes is inherited from its parent process, usually 0. For example, when specifying a very low
priority, the following command can be entered: nice -n 19 cc -c *.c &
The above command runs the cc command in the background at a lower priority than the default
priority set by the nice command.
