5:53p	[$] A control group manager CGManager is a year-old project to develop a daemon to manage control groups (cgroups) on a Linux system. These days, it is mostly targeted at doing that management for LXC containers, but it was originally envisioned as an alternative to systemd's cgroup management for those distributions that were not using systemd as their init. LXC maintainer Serge Hallyn gave a presentation about CGManager on October 13 at LinuxCon Europe in Düsseldorf, Germany.
