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.....
