I ran across this interesting nugget today:
http://cryopid.berlios.de http://cryopid.berlios.de
CryoPID allows you to capture the state of a running process in Linux and
save it to
a file This file can then be used to resume the process later on, either
after a reboot
or even on a different machine.
...
Yes checkpointing software such as this is nothing new, but I was unable
to find a
tool that worked on Linux that did not require at least one of the
following:
o root privileges o modifications to the kernel o recompiling/relinking your software o using an LD_PRELOAD when you start your program
