I would in fact originally have taken a cgroup instead of a pid, but wasn't sure how best to identify the cgroup. Originally I was more worried about pid exiting/wraparound, but then decided that with a real container the container_init can't go away until the container goes away anyway. Anyway, I can go ahead and add 'int which' to the parameter list now, and leave the details of how to specify a cgroup for later. That way at least the api won't fundamentally change again. Good idea, thanks. -serge _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
