Code:

# nice shellscript.sh

nice is used to modify the priority in which your script runs. negative values are greater priority, and positive values are lower priority.

i'm wondering what the default priority is if i just execute the command above with no number.

next question:

let's say this shell script has things like mysqldump or other commands in it, .. is every process that this shell script executes going to be run with the modified priorities as well?
