NAME
       cgexec - run the task in given control groups


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


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


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

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


       --sticky
              If running the task command with this option, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process)  does  not  change
              both  the  task of the command and the children tasks. Without this option, the daemon does not change the task of
              the command but it changes the children 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 memory.

       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.
