[Condor-users] Standalone checkpointing problem

[Alan.Carriou@xxxxxx (Alan Carriou)]

Hello all,

I am new to Condor, and trying to use the Condor standalone 
checkpointing library (to later integrate it within our Grid Engine 
cluster); and I have a problem, which solution I couldn't find in the 
doc or in the mailing-list archives...

After succesful compilation of a simple example program "ever", i launch 
it, send it a USR2 signal, terminate it, without problem. But when i 
restart it from the checkpoint file, the name shown in "ps" is " 
i686              ./ever", which seems weird.

[acarrio@localhost ~] $ ./ever &
[1] 11254
Condor: Notice: Will checkpoint to ./ever.ckpt
Condor: Notice: Remote system calls disabled.
[acarrio@localhost ~] $ killall -s USR2 ever
[acarrio@localhost ~] $ killall ever
[acarrio@localhost ~] $ ./ever -_condor_restart ever.ckpt &
[2] 11257
[1]   Terminated              ./ever
Condor: Notice: Will restart from ever.ckpt
[acarrio@localhost ~] $ ps u | grep ever | grep -v grep
acarrio  11257 99.9  0.4  2028 1084 pts/3    R    11:30   0:05 
       i686      ./ever

I am using Fedora Core 3, with the Condor 6.6.9 RPM, and gcc 3.4.2 as 
provided by FC3. The CPU, in case of being relevant, is AMD Sempron...

Also, making other tests, I have seen about similar strange process 
names for other programs, and some checkpoint file names had strange 
characters.

Is it a configuration issue (I haven't changed the condor configuration 
file), or something else ?

Thanks in advance for any idea or explanation (or link to a part of a 
doc I have not found),

Alan
