cgm (1)

cgm is a client script to simplify making requests of the cgroup manager. It simply calls dbus-send to send requests to the running cgmanager or cgproxy.

Usage:

cgm ping

cgm create <controller> <cgroup>

cgm chown <controller> <cgroup> uid gid

cgm chmod <controller> <cgroup> mode

cgm chmodfile <controller> <cgroup> file mode

cgm remove <controller> <cgroup> [0|1]

cgm getpidcgroup <controller> pid

cgm getpidcgroupabs <controller> pid

cgm movepid <controller> <cgroup> pid

cgm movepidabs <controller> <cgroup> pid

cgm getvalue <controller> <cgroup> file

cgm setvalue <controller> <cgroup> file value

cgm gettasks <controller> <cgroup>

cgm gettasksrecursive <controller> <cgroup>

cgm listchildren <controller> <cgroup>

cgm removeonempty <controller> <cgroup>

cgm prune <controller> <cgroup>

cgm listcontrollers

cgm listkeys <controller> <cgroup>

cgm apiversion

• Replace '<controller>' with the desired controller, i.e. memory, and '<cgroup>' with the desired cgroup, i.e. x1. For create, chown, chmod, remove, prune, remove_on_empty, gettasksrecursive and movepid, <controller> may be "all" or a comma-separated set of cgroups. Remove by default is recursive, but adding '0' as the last argument will perforn non-recursive deletion. Adding '1' is supported for legacy reasons.

• To refer to the current cgroup, use ''.

To create a new cgroup called foo and move your shell into it, you could do:

sudo cgm create all foo

sudo cgm chown all foo $(id -u) $(id -g)

cgm movepid all foo $$

Then to freeze that cgroup,

cgm setvalue freezer foo freezer.state FROZEN
