15 The cgexec program executes the task command with arguments arguments
16 in given control groups.
17
18
19 -g <controllers>:<path>
20 defines control groups in which the task will be run. con‐
21 trollers is a list of controllers and path is the relative path
22 to control groups in the given controllers list.
23
24 This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple pairs of
25 lists of controllers and relative paths. Instead of the list of
26 all mounted controllers, wildcard b"*b" can be used.
27
28 If this option is not used then cgexec will automatically place
29 the task to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.
30
31
32 --sticky
33 If running the task command with this option, the daemon of ser‐
34 vice cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both the task
35 of the command and the children tasks. Without this option, the
36 daemon does not change the task of the command but it changes
37 the children tasks to the right cgroup based on
38 /etc/cgrules.conf automatically.

42 cgexec -g *:test1 ls
43 runs command ls in control group test1 in all mounted controllers.
44
45 cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 ls -l
46 runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and mem‐
47 ory.
48
49 cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 -g swap:test2 ls -l
50 runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory
51 and control group test2 in controller swap.
