Use nice command to execute php script

Question

I have a php script that populates a database, I would like to use the nice command to not increase server load innecesarily. I have tried several commands without luck:

/bin/nice -n 10 "cd ~/webapps/example; php54 ~/webapps/example/example.php"
/bin/nice -n 10 "php54 ~/webapps/example/example.php"
/bin/nice -n 10 "/usr/local/bin/php54 ~/webapps/example/example.php"

and so on. All of them show:

/bin/nice: /usr/local/bin/php54 example.php: No such file or directory

ideas?

You've almost got it right, in the 2nd and 3rd examples just omit the quotes and it should work. For the first one you should either wrap the two commands into one script and then nice that or just do your cd first then nice the PHP script (the "cd" doesn't have to be nice'd).

Thanks, works fine! I've tried to include the "cd" because of the error message I was receiving ("No such file or directory").
