CGRULESENGD(8)                            libcgroup Manual                            CGRULESENGD(8)

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 files in cgrules.d (see cgrules.d (5) for potential conflicts) direc‐
       tory and moves the process to the appropriate control group.

       The list of rules is read during the daemon startup and 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.
