3.7. Starting a Process in a Control Group

Launch processes in a manually created cgroup by running the cgexec command. The syntax for cgexec is:

cgexec -g controllers:path_to_cgroup command arguments

cgexec -g controllers:path_to_cgroup command arguments

where:

It is also possible to add the --sticky option before the command to keep any child processes in the same cgroup. If you do not set this option and the cgred service is running, child processes will be allocated to cgroups based on the settings found in /etc/cgrules.conf. The process itself, however, will remain in the cgroup in which you started it.
