Could someone please tell me how to 'nice' a command which is executed within crontab? I keep getting the output "no directory or command +20" in cronlog. My crontab entry looks like: 0 5 * * * /bin/nice +20 command I've tried various combinations of quotes but I still get the same error. Thanks in advance.....

cron is using sh to execute your commands. not csh. try nice -19. david stone
