8.3.3 Kernel Control Groups (cgroups)
On a traditional SysV init system it is not always possible to clearly assign a process
to the service that spawned it. Some services such as Apache, spawn a lot of 3rd party
processes (e.g. CGI or Java processes), which themselves spawn more processes. This
makes a clear assignment difcult or even impossible. Additionally, a service may not
terminate correctly, leaving some of its children alive.
systemd solves this problem by placing each service into its own cgroup. cgroups
are a Kernel feature that allows aggregating processes and all their children into hierar-
chical organized groups. systemd names each cgroup after its service. Since a non-
privileged process it not allowed to “leave” its cgroup, this provides an effective way
to label all processes spawned by a service with the name of the service.
To list all processes belonging to a service, use the command systemd-cgls. The
result will look like the following (shortened) example:
