- <listitem><para>Controls the control
- groups the executed processes shall be
- made members of. Takes a
- space-separated list of cgroup
- identifiers. A cgroup identifier is
- formatted like
- <filename noindex='true'>cpu:/foo/bar</filename>,
- where "cpu" indicates the kernel
- control group controller used, and
- <filename noindex='true'>/foo/bar</filename> is the
- control group path. The controller
- name and ":" may be omitted in which
- case the named systemd control group
- hierarchy is implied. Alternatively,
- the path and ":" may be omitted, in
- which case the default control group
- path for this unit is implied.</para>
-
- <para>This option may be used to place
- executed processes in arbitrary groups
- in arbitrary hierarchies -- which may
- then be externally configured with
- additional execution limits. By
- default systemd will place all
- executed processes in separate
- per-unit control groups (named after
- the unit) in the systemd named
- hierarchy. This option is primarily
- intended to place executed processes
- in specific paths in specific kernel
- controller hierarchies. It is not
- recommended to manipulate the service
- control group path in the private
- systemd named hierarchy
- (i.e. <literal>name=systemd</literal>),
- and doing this might result in
- undefined behaviour. For details about
- control groups see <ulink
- url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>.</para>
-
- <para>This option may appear more than
- once, in which case the list of
- control group assignments is
- merged. If the same hierarchy gets two
- different paths assigned only the
- later setting will take effect. If the
- empty string is assigned to this
- option the list of control group
- assignments is reset, all previous
- assignments will have no
- effect.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the list of control
- group assignments of a unit is
- extended implicitly based on the
- settings of
- <varname>DefaultControllers=</varname>
- of
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- but a unit's
- <varname>ControlGroup=</varname>
- setting for a specific controller

- <listitem><para>Takes a boolean
- argument. If true, the control groups
- created for this unit will be owned by

- <term><varname>ControlGroupPersistent=</varname></term>
- <listitem><para>Takes a boolean
- argument. If true, the control groups
- created for this unit will be marked
- to be persistent, i.e. systemd will
- not remove them when stopping the
- unit. The default is false, meaning
- that the control groups will be
- removed when the unit is stopped. For

- <term><varname>ControlGroupAttribute=</varname></term>
-
- <listitem><para>Set a specific control
- group attribute for executed
- processes, and (if needed) add the
- executed processes to a cgroup in the
- hierarchy of the controller the
- attribute belongs to. Takes two
- space-separated arguments: the
- attribute name (syntax is
- <literal>cpu.shares</literal> where
- <literal>cpu</literal> refers to a
- specific controller and
- <literal>shares</literal> to the
- attribute name), and the attribute
- value. Example:
- <literal>ControlGroupAttribute=cpu.shares
- 512</literal>. If this option is used
- for an attribute that belongs to a
- kernel controller hierarchy the unit
- is not already configured to be added
- to (for example via the
- <literal>ControlGroup=</literal>
- option) then the unit will be added to
- the controller and the default unit
- cgroup path is implied. Thus, using
- <varname>ControlGroupAttribute=</varname>
- is in most cases sufficient to make
- use of control group enforcements,
- explicit
- <varname>ControlGroup=</varname> are
- only necessary in case the implied
- default control group path for a
- service is not desirable. For details
- about control group attributes see
- <ulink
- url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>. This
- option may appear more than once, in
- order to set multiple control group
- attributes. If this option is used
- multiple times for the same cgroup
- attribute only the later setting takes
- effect. If the empty string is
- assigned to this option the list of
- attributes is reset, all previous
- cgroup attribute settings have no
- effect, including those done with
- <varname>CPUShares=</varname>,
- <varname>MemoryLimit=</varname>,
- <varname>MemorySoftLimit</varname>,
- <varname>DeviceAllow=</varname>,
- <varname>DeviceDeny=</varname>,
- <varname>BlockIOWeight=</varname>,
- <varname>BlockIOReadBandwidth=</varname>,
