"Containers" have some properties that I don't describe in the post. For example, if a process is in a "container", its child will also be in this "container" and statistics will concern both. Thus, I must store informations concerning the state of the "container". I don't see how to do this efficiently outside the kernel. I mean that it maybe possible to do that using /proc filesystem but I think that it's better to do it in the kernel. Any opinions concerning this are welcome Thx Guillaume -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
