CGRED.CONF(5)

💖 CGRED.CONF(5) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the cgred.conf page — it lives in the libcgroup Manual and it's literally the manual page for a config file, which sounds boring but actually it's kind of iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cgred.conf — the libcgroup configuration file, aka the lil file that tells the CGroup Rules Daemon how to behave 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so cgred.conf is the configuration file for the cgred service, periodt. you can define a few internal values in here — that's it, that's the whole job 💅

⚠️ okay but listen: if you put anything else in this file, the CGroup Rules Daemon program will fail. not "act weird", not "log a complaint" — fail. so don't freestyle in here, bestie 😭

Here's the full menu of what you're actually allowed to set:

• CONFIG_FILE — this one specifies the configuration file for the cgred service 🗂️
• LOG_FILE — says which file the logs get written to. and ngl, the default is that they don't go to a file at all — they go to syslog instead 🪵
• NODAEMON — if you set this equal to --nodaemon, then cgred runs in non-daemon mode 🧚
• LOG — defines the verbosity of logging. the accepted values are -v, -vv, -q and --nolog 🔊

🦋 FILES 🦋

• /etc/cgred.conf — the default libcgroup configuration file 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this one came from Linux, dated 2009-03-16 — yes she's a vintage queen and we're obsessed with her 👑💖 go set your LOG level and thrive ✨
