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.
