CryoPID - Linux Process Freezer

clipped from 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 another machine. CryoPID consists of a program called freeze that captures the state of a running process and writes it into a file. The file is self-executing and self-extracting, so to resume a process, you simply run that file. See the table below for more details on what is supported. Current features are: Can run as an ordinary user! (no root privileges needed) Works on both 2.4 and 2.6. Works on x86 and AMD64. Can start & stop a process multiple times Can migrate processes between machines and between kernel versions (tested between 2.4 to 2.6 and 2.6 to 2.4).
