Whether to enable support for control groups, a Linux kernel
feature for resource management. It allows you to assign
processes to groups that share certain resource limits (e.g.,
CPU or memory). The <command>cgrulesengd</command> daemon
automatically assigns processes to the right cgroup depending
on the rules defined in
<option>services.cgroups.rules</option>.
