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 reloads the list of templates when
       it receives SIGUSR1 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 destinations.

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

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

       -q|--quiet
              Display less log messages.

       -Q|--nolog
              Disable logging.

       -d|--debug
              Equivalent  to  '-nvvvf -', 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.
