tcsh, and probably csh, has a builtin 'nice' with default +4. So tcsh% nice ps -l will show a process with nice +4. If you tell it not to use the builtin, tcsh% \nice ps -l then it uses /usr/bin/nice and you get +10. bash doesn't have a nice builtin, so it always uses /usr/bin/nice and you get +10 by default. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.'
