this package provides a cgroup-lite style package for cgroup configuration, along with a utility for making cgroup configuration scripts.
in addition to the cgroup-mount and cgroup-umount commands, along with an init script for mounting the cgroup hierarchy, this package provides spacemonkey-cgroup-setup, which is ordinarily used like a script interpreter itself.
for example, let's say you want to limit memory for a particular type of process.
first you write a spacemonkey-cgroups-setup script (example-cgroup-setup)
like so:
#!/usr/bin/spacemonkey-cgroups-setup memory
echo 64M > memory.soft_limit_in_bytes
echo 96M > memory.limit_in_bytes
echo 128M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
then, you run your script with the pid of the process you want to limit as its first argument, like
example-cgroup-setup $DAEMON_PID
Often this last step is added to the start section of the init script of the daemon process you want to manage.
