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.
