I ran across this interesting nugget today:
> 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
