Ah, so that's what's changed - thanks. I wonder why querying the status of a service requires the creation of directories under /sys/fs/cgroup. Also whether I can configure cgroups in the kernel somehow to allow an ordinary user to query a status, as used to be possible without throwing errors. This is indeed an openrc system, as you imply, there being nothing to push me towards systemd since I don't run gnome. That just leaves the mysterious stopping of BOINC to watch out for. -- Regards Peter
