Hi,

Do you mean that the contents of the file does match a certain string or the filename does match a certain pattern.
In case of filename it can be :

ls -l fi?e*
or
find /my/dir -type f -name t\?dr\* -exec ls -l {} \;

Else it might be :

find /my/dir -type f -name t\?dr* -exec grep <pattern> {} \;

If it's gona be too many files, use the xargs again. Many posts have explained the use of it.

cgclear

CGCLEAR(1)							 libcgroup Manual							CGCLEAR(1)

NAME

       cgclear - unload the cgroup filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       cgclear [-e] [-l <filename>] [-L <directory>] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Without	parameters,  this  command  moves all the tasks inside the various cgroups to the root cgroup, deletes all the cgroups and finally
       unmounts the cgroup filesystem from the system.

       If one or more config files are specified, only groups defined in the config files are removed. The files are processed in  reverse  order,
       i.e. the last file on command line is processed first, so cgclear can have the same command line arguments as appropriate cgconfigparser.

       -l, --load=<filename>
	      specifies the config file to read. This option can be used multiple times and can be mixed with -L option.

       -L, --load-directory=<directory>
	      specifies  the  directory,  which is searched for configuration files. All files in this directory will be processed in alphabetical
	      order as they were specified by -l option. This option can be used multiple times and can be mixed with -l option.

       -e     specifies that only empty groups should be removed. If a group defined in a config file has tasks inside or has a subgroup, it won't
	      be removed. This option works only with -l or -L options.
