> I have the same Issue and disabling "nice" doesn't help because the next the invalid command complains is "/usr/sbin/backintime". I'll resort to creating backups based on an interval. If...

I don't think it's a Manjaro problem, because there's also `/usr/bin/nice` present. But I'm running BIT as root, because I want to backup the whole system, and not just the...

I have tested it in all three variants: as regular user, with `sudo` and as root. Every time the results are the same, and they never include the symlinked `sbin`,...

Just in case, I also tested running `Popen(['which', 'nice'], stdout = PIPE).communicate()[0].strip().decode()` in Python console (again as regular user, with `sudo` and as root) and the results are the same...
