hi! host: $ cat /proc/744/cgroup 1:blkio,net_cls,freezer,devices,memory,cpuacct,cpu,ns,cpuset:/ container: $ cat /proc/25924/cgroup 1:blkio,net_cls,freezer,devices,memory,cpuacct,cpu,ns,cpuset:/svn In other words, if /proc/PID/cgroups exists and its last character is not /, then it's a container process. tamas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
