NAME¶

cgm - a client script for cgmanager

DESCRIPTION¶

cgm is a client script to simplify making requests of the cgroup manager. It simply calls dbus-send to send requests to the running cgmanager or cgproxy. Usage: cgm ping cgm create <controller> <cgroup> cgm chown <controller> <cgroup> uid gid cgm chmod <controller> <cgroup> mode cgm chmodfile <controller> <cgroup> file mode cgm remove <controller> <cgroup> [0|1] cgm getpidcgroup <controller> pid cgm getpidcgroupabs <controller> pid cgm movepid <controller> <cgroup> pid cgm movepidabs <controller> <cgroup> pid cgm getvalue <controller> <cgroup> file cgm setvalue <controller> <cgroup> file value cgm gettasks <controller> <cgroup> cgm gettasksrecursive <controller> <cgroup> cgm listchildren <controller> <cgroup> cgm removeonempty <controller> <cgroup> cgm prune <controller> <cgroup> cgm listcontrollers cgm listkeys <controller> <cgroup> cgm apiversion

Replace '<controller>' with the desired controller, i.e. memory, and '<cgroup>' with the desired cgroup, i.e. x1. For create, chown, chmod, remove, prune, remove_on_empty, gettasksrecursive and movepid, <controller> may be "all" or a comma-separated set of cgroups. Remove by default is recursive, but adding '0' as the last argument will perforn non-recursive deletion. Adding '1' is supported for legacy reasons.

To refer to the current cgroup, use ''.

EXAMPLES¶

To create a new cgroup called foo and move your shell into it, you could do: sudo cgm create all foo sudo cgm chown all foo $(id -u) $(id -g) cgm movepid all foo $$ Then to freeze that cgroup, cgm setvalue freezer foo freezer.state FROZEN
