Hi Edson,
You seem to have hit a known bug that we have for dmtcp version 2.4.1.
We had an unfortunate regression concerning interval checkpointing.
--interval and DMTCP_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL are not working properly
in version 2.4.1.
We will be releasing version 2.4.2 in a few days. In the meantime,
your options are to use dmtcp-2.4.0, or else the development
branch (which is currently reasonable stable). The development branch
can be found through:
google dmtcp download
--> http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
----> git clone https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp.git
----> OR: wget https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp/archive/master.zip
Best,
- Gene
