>Description:
        Man pages for nice(1) incorrect/outdated.

        SYNOPSIS
                nice [-n increment] utility [argument ...]

        ...

                EXAMPLES
                        Execute utility `date' at priority 5 assuming the priority of the shell
                        is 0:        

                        nice -n 5 date

        nice(1) only accepts nice +n ... (to increase niceness) or nice -n (to decrease). The samples provides do not work

>How-To-Repeat:
        yellow:/home/sysadm/wiwi%  nice -n 5 date
        nice: Badly formed number.
