sudo nohup nice <— in what order?

Question

So I have a script that I want to run as root, without hangup and nicely. What order should I put the commands in?

sudo nohup nice foo.bash &

or

noh

Answer 1

sudo may not respect niceness. At least, it doesn't on my machine (Ubuntu 9.04). Running this:

nice sudo nice
sudo nice nice

prints out 0 and 10. (Note that 'nice' with no command prints out the current niceness.)
