<pre>systemd-run is actually very nifty to run programs in a resource controlled
mode. It is pretty much a better "isolate"
(<a href="http://www.ucw.cz/moe/isolate.1.html">http://www.ucw.cz/moe/isolate.1.html</a>).
The problem is that systemd-run does not allow programs to be run with resource
controls. I am aware of the --slice parameter, but that is an umbrella resource
control: If I run 5 different programs simultaneously (with differing resource
requirements), It does not let me allocate resource control on a per run basis.
The other solution suggested to me on IRC was to issue a "systemctl
set-property" after firing the systemd-run, which really does not serve the
purpose.
I tried passing a .service file to systemd-run (which allows specification of
resource controls within it), but it doesnt seem to execute it. In fact, I
would argue that systemd-run should simply read in a .service file (which has
all the --slice and --scope parameters built in), honor the resource controls
and execute it. You can ignore the dependencies, etc. which are not required.
All the commandline arguments would be unnecessary.</pre>
