Thanks a lot! I'm trying to figure out how to set CGroup now - don't know it 
before.

One more question, I just find /proc/[PID]/stat also contains such information:
processCPUTime = utime + stime + cutime + cstime

I'm wondering whether there are any significant differences from reading /proc 
directly and the way Collectd used?

Thank you!

Zhenyu
