An up-to-date checkpointer is chpox [1]. This is a kernel module that works with any 2.4.x kernel. "CHPOX supports: dumping of virtual memory, regular files, terminal state, current working directory, pipes, multiple non-interacting processes." [1] There are a couple more kernel-based checkpointing packages listed at www.checkpointing.org, but you'll probably notice that none of these can handle the kind of processes that chpox can. However, some do offer things like MPI checkpointing. One thing you might want to note is network socket checkpointing is broken by design. Both sides of the socket would need to be chkpt at the same exact time. This, and a bunch of other issues, make socket chkpting and migration a very, very difficult task. I've yet to come accrossed one that does it.
