From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: The renice man page installed at /usr/share/man/man1p/renice.1p.gz calls for a -n parameter as follows: renice -n increment [-g | -p | -u] ID ... This differs from, and precedes in search order, the util-linux-2.12p man page at /usr/share/man/man8/renice.8.gz which gives the following synopsis: renice priority [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...] The major difference is the -n parameter called for in the man-pages instruction, but not accepted by the util-linux program. If the -n parameter is used the following error message is returned: renice: 10: getpriority: No such process 3983: old priority 0, new priority 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-1.67-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.renice -n 10 -p <pid> 2. 3. Actual Results: renice: 10: getpriority: No such process 3983: old priority 0, new priority 0 Expected Results: 3983: old priority 0, new priority 10 Additional info:
