NAME
cgexec - run the task in given control groups
SYNOPSIS
cgexec [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky] command [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The cgexec program executes the task command with arguments arguments
in given control groups.
-g <controllers>:<path>
defines control groups in which the task will be run.
controllers is a list of controllers and path is the relative
path to control groups in the given controllers list.
This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple pairs of
lists of controllers and relative paths. Instead of the list of
all mounted controllers, wildcard b"*b" can be used.
If this option is not used then cgexec will automatically place
the task to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.
--sticky
If running the task command with this option, the daemon of
service cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both the
task of the command and the children tasks. Without this option,
the daemon does not change the task of the command but it
changes the children tasks to the right cgroup based on
/etc/cgrules.conf automatically.
EXAMPLES
cgexec -g *:test1 ls
runs command ls in control group test1 in all mounted controllers.
cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 ls -l
runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and
memory.
cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 -g swap:test2 ls -l
runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory
and control group test2 in controller swap.
