During resource-intensive operations, a Linux system administrator needs to ensure that a new statistical analysis application doesn't consume excessive CPU resources, potentially impacting the performance of other critical services. Which of the following commands will start the new application with a reduced CPU priority?
The correct command to start a new process with a reduced CPU priority is nice -n 10 /path/to/stat_analysis_app, where -n 10 adjusts the niceness level, thereby decreasing the process's priority. The usage of priority and adjust commands is incorrect because they are not standard Linux commands used for managing process priorities. The renice command, although related to priority management, is used for changing the priority of an already running process, not for starting a new one with a specific priority.
