DESCRIPTION

       The  migdrop  feature  is  an  additional "miggroup"-/proc
       entry for each process
       (it  was  added  to  the  openMosix  kernel   in   version
       2.4.20-openMosix-3).
       If  a new process is created the "miggroup" proc-file con-
       tains "0". The value in this file can  be  easily  set  by
       user-applications  like "echo" or any other programs which
       are using the regular open(),  read()  and  write()  func-
       tions.
       The main ideas behind this new /proc-entry is that you can
       now group your processes by  setting  the  same  value  to
       their "miggroup" file ( /proc/[PID]/miggroup ). Then those
       created process-groups can be easily managed  by  adminis-
       tration-tools and/or scripts.

SYNOPSIS

       joingroup [PID](,[PDI],[PID],...)[process-group]
       make processes join a miggroup


       migrategroup [process-group][node-ID]
       migrate a miggroup to another node


       resetgroup [options]
       reset a specific miggroup


       showgroup [process-group]
       show all processes from a specific miggroup

EXAMPLES

       - make processes join a miggroup:
       [root@node1  miggroup]# joingroup 1300 1332 1364 1396 1428
       1460 1
       miggroup = 1
       processes = 1300 1332 1364 1396 1428 1460
       process 1300 joins the miggroup 1 now
       process 1332 joins the miggroup 1 now
       process 1364 joins the miggroup 1 now
       process 1396 joins the miggroup 1 now
       process 1428 joins the miggroup 1 now
       process 1460 joins the miggroup 1 now


       - show all processes from a specific miggroup:
       [root@node1 miggroup]# showgroup 1
       1300 with commandline bash belongs to 1
       1332 with commandline bash belongs to 1
       1364 with commandline bash belongs to 1
       1396 with commandline bash belongs to 1
       1428 with commandline bash belongs to 1
       1460 with commandline bash belongs to 1


       - migrate a miggroup to another node:
       [root@node1 miggroup]# migrategroup 1 2
       migrate 1300 to 2
       migrate 1332 to 2
       migrate 1364 to 2
       migrate 1396 to 2
       migrate 1428 to 2
       migrate 1460 to 2


       - reset a specific miggroup:
       [root@node1 miggroup]# resetgroup 1
       resetet 1300
       resetet 1332
       resetet 1364
       resetet 1396
       resetet 1428
       resetet 1460
       [root@node1 miggroup]#
