Re: [Condor-users] stand alone checkpointing

Rosie,

I will let others answer the checkpointing question. Did you consider 
running this program as a Condor "scheduler universe" job? It sounds as if 
your program is responsible for managing Condor jobs like the DAGMan we 
provide. The scheduler universe was designed for this kind of jobs.
