+       The priority (also known as nice value) is a value in the range -20
+       to 19. Lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling. Since only
+       privileged processes may request a negative priority, specifying
+       a negative value works only if the daemon is started with root
+       privileges.
+
+       Failure to set the given priority value is not considered an error
+       but a log message is printed in this case.
