Integration of systemd and cgroups in Ksysguard

Sat Sep 04, 2010 5:04 am

Systemd is an init system and a session manager that shows a lot of promise in reducing booting times, starting services in parallel and starting services on demand. In order to take advantage of its session manager capabilities the linux kernel must have cgroups enabled. Fedora 14 will be released with it and other distributions may follow. Opensuse has sent merge requests to Lennart Poettering so it is supported by systemd. Debian, Gentoo and Arch have also sent merge requests to the same end, indicating they might adopt it in the near future (and considering how cool the technology behind systemd is, I'm not surprised). There's already a gnome client to manage cgroups in systemd (developed by Lennart himself) and I believe to be a good idea to have a kde client to do just that.
UPDATE: Systemd has been deferred to Fedora 15, but nevertheless it would be nice to have KDE SC 4.6 with systemd support.

Unfortunately no, cgroups is a Linux-only technology (by Linux I mean the Linux kernel). For the very same reason systemd is only available for Linux Distributions. It's up to other *nix systems to port (or not) systemd to their respective OS's.
