I have used nice for Unidata on HPUX many times and never had any problem. Renice is the command to change nice level. Use "man renice" to get help on the command. While using renice command just make sure to use correct pid for the process.
Another command you may want to have a look is "kill" with correct parameter you can practically stop a low priority process to stop processing and give high priority process more resources, and start the process again when high priority process is done. Use "man kill" for details.
