    Don’t forget that you can also do it with top and htop.

  3. Given the Linux way of there being a dozen different ways to do the same thing, a better wording might be - ‘list two ways to change the priority’, as we’ve already come up with 4:-) For interesting reading, try ‘man -k nice’ - there are at least two others mentioned in openSUSE.
