[[nice]] allows you to change the priority of a utility that is not running. You '''must''' give the -n flag, like so:
samizdata# nice -n 20 nmap -sS -sU -O localhost

Using the -n flag allows you to set the priority that the process will run at, using a numeric value from -20 to +20; the lower the number, the higher the priority.
