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


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


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

       The pids in the pidlist are separated by spaces


       -g <controllers>:<path>
              defines  control  groups where the task will be moved.  controllers is a list of controllers and path is the rela-
              tive 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 * can be used.

              If  this  option  is  not  used  then  cgclassify  will automatically place the task to the 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
              changes their children tasks to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf automatically.
