Description

Is there a way to record the process PID when a command is executed inside the container?
I saw that process are constantly updated on cgroup.procs, then i tried to modify WriteCgroupProc on libcontainer/cgroups/utils.go to place this trigger, but it seems to be accountable to write on container initiation.

Any help is appreciated.
Best regards.

Research direction

Start by reading libcontainer/cgroups/utils.go and the WriteCgroupProc path, then compare its container-initiation behavior with updates to cgroup.procs. The issue does not define the intended launch-time recording point or what tests and observable behavior would demonstrate completion, so those requirements need clarification first.
