I need the ability to snapshot a running process to disk in such a way
that I can resume it again later. This resumption may take place days
later, even after a reboot. I understand that something called
"undump" exists which will do such a thing from a core file. My
questions are these:
Is there an FTP site where I can find such an animal?
Can it reliably resume a process from any core file?
How dependent is it on platform type? I'm using a tahoe running
HCX/UX (SYS V w/ Berkeley extensions) and have had "fair" luck porting
both SYS V & BSD applications here.
Does anyone have any better ideas for doing this?
I know that some debuggers do this type of thing, but most of the code
is in Ada, so the popular symbolic debuggers won't work. I can
interface to C code, so conventional C-language solutions are
welcomed.
