**Cgroups**
Finit supports cgroups v2 and comes with the following default groups
in which services and user sessions are placed in:
/sys/fs/cgroup
|-- init/ # cpu.weight:100
|-- system/ # cpu.weight:9800
`-- user/ # cpu.weight:100
Finit itself, helper services like `ifup -a`, and the like are placed
in the leaf-node group `init/`, which also is _reserved_.
All run/task/service/sysv processes are placed in their own sub-group
in `system/`. The name of each sub-group is taken from the respective
`.conf` file from `/etc/finit.d`.
All getty/tty processes are placed in their own sub-group in `user/`.
The name of each sub-group is taken from the username.
A fourth group also exists, the `root` group. It is also _reserved_ and
primarily intended for RT tasks. If you have RT tasks they need to be
declared as such in their service stanza like this:
service [...] <...> cgroup.root /path/to/foo args -- description
or
cgroup.root
service [...] <...> /path/to/foo args -- description
service [...] <...> /path/to/bar args -- description
See [doc/config.md](doc/config.md#cgroups) for more information, e.g.,
how to configure per-group limits.
The `initctl` tool has three commands to help debug and optimize the
setup and monitoring of cgroups. See the `ps`, `top`, and `cgroup`
commands for details.
