NAME

       cgrulesengd - control group rules daemon

SYNOPSIS

       cgrulesengd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cgrulesengd  is	a  daemon,  which  distributes processes to control groups. When any process changes its effective UID or GID, cgrulesengd
       inspects the list of rules loaded from the cgrules.conf file and moves the process to the appropriate control group.

       The list of rules is read during the daemon startup is are cached in the daemon's memory.  The daemon reloads the list  of  rules  when	it
       receives SIGUSR2 signal.

       The daemon opens a standard unix socket to receive 'sticky' requests from cgexec.

OPTIONS

       -h|--help
	      Display help.

       -f <path>|--logfile=<path>
	      Write  log  messages to the given log file. When '-' is used as <path>, log messages are written to the standard output. If '-f' and
	      '-s' are used together, the logs are sent to both destinations.

       -s[facility]|--syslog=[facility]
	      Write log messages to syslog. The default facility is DAEMON. If '-f' and '-s' are used together, the logs are sent to both destina-
	      tions.

       -n|--nodaemon
	      Don't fork the daemon, stay in the foreground.

       -v|--verbose
	      Display more log messages. This option can be used twice to enable more verbose log messages.

       -q|--quiet
	      Display less log messages. This option can be used twice to enable even less log messages and to only log errors.

       -Q|--nolog
	      Disable logging.

       -d|--debug
	      Equivalent to '-nvvf -', i.e. don't fork the daemon, display all log messages and write them to the standard output.

       -u <user>|--socket-user=<user>
	      -g  <group>|--socket-group=<group>  Set the owner of cgrulesengd socket. Assumes that cgexec runs with proper suid permissions so it
	      can write to the socket when cgexec --sticky is used.
