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 control 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 con-
	      trol 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, 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 chil-
	      dren 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 automatically change both the specified pidlist and
	      their child tasks to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.
