LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 29

What is the maximum niceness value that a regular user can assign to a process with the nice command when executing a new process?

Answer options

• A. 9
• B. 15
• C. 19
• D. 49
• E. 99

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a regular user can assign a niceness value ranging from 0 to 19, where 19 is the maximum. Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they either fall below the maximum allowable value for a regular user or exceed the limits set by the nice command.
