Re: [HTCondor-users] cgroup setup with centOS7/systemctl?

[Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

many thanks - that clears things up!

Yes, I am still somewhat wired to SysV ;) - but I see that Systemd can
have its advantages (at least I have already managed some simple service
unit files which are imho more accessible than init-services) - still
some learning curve ahead to get into the depth of systemd

Cheers and thanks,
  Thomas

ps:
for completness/documentation
with
  BASE_CGROUP=/system.slice/condor.service
the jobs' resource controls/info go to

/sys/fs/cgroup/*/system.slice/condor.service/condor_var_lib_condor_execute_slot*
- it took me some time to realize the path ;)
