LPIC-1 Exam 101 (Linux Administrator) — Question 54

What is the default nice level when a process is started using the nice command?

Answer options

• A. -10
• B. 10
• C. 20
• D. 0

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The default nice level when a process is started using the nice command is 10, which makes it less favorable in terms of CPU scheduling. Options A, C, and D do not represent the default nice value for a newly initiated process; -10 indicates a higher priority, 20 is the maximum nice value, and 0 is the standard priority level without adjustment.
