Hello, Thanks for writing to us. If all you want to do is kill the computation after the checkpoint has completed, then you can use the "xc" command. Basically, do "dmtcp_command -xc" or type "xc<return>" in the coordinator window. This command has not been tested extensively and that is why we didn't document it. Apart from this, you can also use "dmtcp_coordinator --exit-after-ckpt" to launch the dmtcp_coordinator. This way the coordinator will kill the computation after the checkpoint has been written to the disk.
Let us know if you run into any issues.
