CGCLASSIFY(1)                            libcgroup Manual                           CGCLASSIFY(1)



NAME
       cgclassify - move running task(s) to given cgroups


SYNOPSIS
       cgclassify [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky | --cancel-sticky] <pidlist>


DESCRIPTION
       this  command moves processes defined by the list of processes (pidlist) to the given con‐
       trol groups.

       The pids in the pidlist are separated by spaces


       -g <controllers>:<path>
              defines the control groups where the task will be moved.  controllers is a list  of
              controllers  and  path  is  the  relative  path to control groups in the given con‐
              trollers list.

              This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple  pairs  of  lists  of  con‐
              trollers  and  relative paths.  Instead of the list of all mounted controllers, the
              wildcard * can be used.

              If this option is not used then cgclassify will automatically move the  task  to  a
              control group based on /etc/cgrules.conf.


       --sticky
              If  this option is used, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not
              change both the specified pidlist and their children tasks.  Without  this  option,
              the daemon does not change the specified pidlist but it automatically changes their
              child tasks to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.


       --cancel-sticky
              If this option is used, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process) can auto‐
              matically  change  both  the  specified  pidlist and their child tasks to the right
              cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.
