I don't see anything specific right now but googl'ing for "linux checkpoint restart" comes up with a few links, most prominent is Berkeley Labs Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR): https://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointRestart.shtml Another option I heard about, though never tried, is to take VMware snapshot - run your calc in a VMware virtual machine and take a snapshot of the entire VM. Then if it (or its host) crashes for some reason you should be able to restore it to the checkpointed state. Hope this helps, --Amos _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
