            Bug ID: 196232
           Summary: man page for nice is wrong - Possibly issues with nice
                    as well
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: chris@acsi.ca

When you type 'man nice' on a 9.1-RELEASE or a 10.1-RELEASE, you are given a
few examples, none which work. 

First Example: nice -n 5 date

Running this produces:

nice: Badly formed number.

Additionally, it lists an example of  "nice -n 16 nice -n -35 date" which also
doesn't work.

Lastly, nice itself may be buggy. I haven't needed to use it in years, but it
seems that it doesn't work as expected. Here's me trying a few commands.

nice -20 date - Works
nice 20 date - 20: Command not found.
nice -n 20 date - nice: Badly formed number.
nice -n20 date - nice: Badly formed number.
