I executed a command:

nice --19 sleep 5

and hoped to get back a status as to whether or not I was
allowed to use a negative priority, since on Windows,
anyone in the Admin group can set a priority, with
the above command running sleep at 'High' priority, but
on linux:

>  nice --19 sleep 1
nice --19 sleep 1
nice: cannot set niceness: Permission denied
>  echo $?
0

nice has an error setting the priority, but doesn't
set any status in the return code.

Shouldn't nice's exit value be something like
EPERM if it couldn't set the priority -- whether or
not it executed the command...

Otherwise, how do you tell if the resetting of the
priority worked or failed?

I guess you're supposed to look at stderr, which is what you did.

This is the way 'nice' has behaved for quite some time, and it's what POSIX 
specifies. We'd need a real good reason to change it, given that changing it 
would no doubt break stuff.

Anyway, it wouldn't harm to document this behavior in the Texinfo
manual... the sentence from the POSIX spec sounds quote good:

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/nice.html

  If the user lacks appropriate privileges to affect the nice value
  in the requested manner, the nice utility shall not affect the
  nice value; in this case, a warning message may be written to
  standard error, but this shall not prevent the invocation of
  /utility/ or affect the exit status.

Have a nice day,
Berny

How about a flag, like -e for 'fail on failure to change priority' and
(maybe less important or useful) '-w' to only return nice's return 
value, with the posix error message returned for called app (if error).

So, 
  nice -e --19 sleep 99
would return immediately if not root with exit status for EPERM (and
no text); sleep would not be executed.
 
and for -w case:

  nice -w --19 ls noexist
would return status for EPERM, and message:
ls: cannot access 'noexist': No such file or directory

Seems those would cover most possibly wants, though
the first would be enough to determine if nice is going to work.

Not an earth-shattering change, but at least it would allow
some way to check if nice is going to work or not so
one could not use it where it would fail (and not
generate an error message).

Thanks,..

I wonder could we special case `nice true`
to indicate the nice return, so you could then:

  nice true && nice cmd || exit

That would be forwards compat,
and backwards compat in the sense it would degrade to the current situation.

It's probably a bit hacky though.

That would lead to a problem where 'nice true' succeeds but 'nice cmd' (f=
or=20
whatever reason) does not. Perhaps the OS has a limit as to how many proc=

you can 'nice', for example. It'd be safer to add an option to avoid such=
 race=20
conditions. Plus, as you mention it'd be less hacky, which means it'd be =
more=20
straightforward to document.
