CGEXEC(1)		       libcgroup Manual			     CGEXEC(1)

NAME
       cgexec - run the task in given control groups

SYNOPSIS
       cgexec [-h] [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky] command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       The  cgexec  program executes the task command with arguments arguments
       in the given control groups.

       -g <controllers>:<path>
	      defines the control groups in which the task will be run.	  con‐
	      trollers	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, the wildcard b"*b" can be used.

	      If this option is not used, cgexec will automatically place  the
	      task in the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.

       -h, --help
	      Display this help and exit.

       --sticky
	      If running the task command with this option, the daemon of ser‐
	      vice cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both  the  task
	      of  the  command	and  the child tasks. Without this option, the
	      daemon does not change the task of the command  but  it  changes
	      the  child  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  mem‐
       ory.

       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.
