    History
    **Computations under control** will run a specificed program as
    a non-interactive computation process, allowing it to be listed
    and regulated by the user of the computer.
    
    To avoid needless use of setuid, it uses a simple client-server
    architecture. On boot, compctld daemon is started (as root),
    sets up the cgroup infrastructure and accepts requests from clients
    for moving a process to cgroup, killing a cgroup'd process and
    tweaking the cgroup limits.
    
    The client compctl interface simply queries the server using
    a synchronous protocol over a UNIX socket. First, the client
    sends a command string message coupled with a SCM_CREDENTIALS
    ancilliary message. Then, it receives a reply message.
    Connection is closed immediately on breach of protocol.
    
    
    You can tweak some simple compile-time configuration variables
    in file 'common.h'. Build everything using the `make` command.
    Then, arrange compctld to be run on boot and put compctl in $PATH
    for your users to enjoy.
