I found your guadec-multiuser talk very interesting . I had a question
regarding the OS security context slide:
o Didn't seem like it was possible to uniquely identify groups of
processes.
Wouldn't process tasks be appropriate here?
NAME
newtask - create new task and optionally change project
SYNOPSIS
newtask [-p project] [-v] [-c pid | [-Fl] [command...]]
DESCRIPTION
The newtask command executes the user's default shell or a
specified command, placing the executed command in a new
task owned by the specified project. The user's default
shell is the one specified in the passwd database, and is
determined using getpwnam().
Alternatively, newtask can be used to cause an already run-
ning process to enter a newly created task. A project for
the new task can also be specified in this form of the com-
mand. This might be desirable for processes that are mission
critical and cannot be restarted in order to put them into a
new project.
In the case that extended accounting is active, the newtask
command can additionally cause the creation of a task
accounting record marking the completion of the preceding
system task.
