cgroups

In this article, we'll explore the use of systemd-run --scope --user to launch processes within a new control group (cgroup) on Linux systems, utilizing systemd's management capabilities to handle resource limitations and dependencies. This approach provides a flexible and powerful way to manage system resources at the granularity of individual processes or groups of processes. Q1: What is a cgroup?
