NAME

       cgrules.conf - libcgroup configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       cgrules.conf  configuration  file  is  used by libcgroups to define the
       control groups to which the process belongs to.

       The file  the  contains  list  of  rules  which  assign  to  a  defined
       group/user  a  control  group  in  a  subsystem  (or  control groups in
       subsystems)

       Rules have two formats:

           <user>                   <controllers>       <destination>
           <user>:<process name>    <controllers>       <destination>

       Where:

       user can be:
           - an user name
           - a group name, with @group syntax
           - the wildcard '*', for any user or group
           - '%', which is equivalent to "ditto" (useful for
             multi-line rules where different cgroups need to be
             specified for various hierarchies for a single user)

       process name is optional and it can be:
           - a process name
           - a full command path of a process

       controllers can be:
           - comma separated controller names (no spaces) or
           - * (for all mounted controllers)

       destination can be:
           - path relative to the controller hierarchy (ex. pgrp1/gid1/uid1)

       First rule which matches the criteria  will be executed.

       Any text starting with '#' is considered as a start of comment line and
       is ignored.

EXAMPLES

       student         devices         /usergroup/students
       the  processes  of user student in the subsystem 'device' belong to the
       control group /usergroup/students.

       student:cp       devices         /usergroup/students/cp
       the 'cp' command processes of user student in  the  subsystem  'device'
       belong to the control group /usergroup/students/cp.

       @admin           *              admingroup/
       the  processes which belong to group admin in all subsystems belongs to
       the control group /admingroup.

       peter           cpu             test1/
       %               memory          test2/
       First line says Peter's  task  for  cpu  controller  belongs  to  test1
       control  group second line says put Peter's tasks for memory controller
       belongs to test2/ control group

       *               *               default/
       all processes belong in all subsystems to the control  group  default/.
       Because  there is applied the first task which is find - it has a sense
       to have this row at the end of list to put  the  tasks  which  was  not
       mentioned in the previous rules to the default/ control group.
