Hi,

This is 4.9-STABLE on Intel PC.

The nice man-pages say:

---------------------------
EXAMPLES
      $ nice -n 5 date

      Execute utility `date' at priority 5 assuming the
      priority of the shell is 0.
---------------------------


But when I do:

$ nice -n 5 date
nice: Badly formed number.
$


Something is wrong here, isn't it?

Regards,
Rob.
