Wait nice actionscript

The “Run Capacity Scan and Upload Results (11.0.4.0)” in the BigFix Inventory site has actionscript commands of:

“wait nice -n 10”

I’m very familiar with the ‘wait’ actionscript command but what is ‘nice -n 10’ ? I see no reference to it documented here: https://developer.bigfix.com/action-script/reference/execution/wait.html

Is that inside an if statement for Unix operating systems?

nice is a standard ‘nix command for setting process priority.

ah right. the wait command is calling nice -n 10 sh -c …
An interesting way for the BigFix Inventory Run Capacity scan to utilize more CPU than the normal bounds set by the BES Client settings.

thanks
