After reading that, my light bulb turned on. The command cgexec is for control group execute. lol I got to do some searching for that now. You gave me a good search term. ;-) I wonder tho, in one of the replies, it says to create a directory in /sys. Don't those get cleared after a reboot? I'm almost certain /proc does but think /sys does too. If so, how does that survive reboots? I may find more info as I search. Dale :-) :-)
