[Condor-users] A Problem while restarting a checkpoint file

["Tanzima Zerin Islam" <tz.islam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 
 I have written a shell script that runs a helloworld (C) program from shell script and from that shell script sends 
kill -USR2 signal to that process. I have used condor_compile to link my executable with condor's checkpoint library.
This shell script also has a way to indentify whether the process needs to restart from an existing ckpt file or is a new application.
Both way it works fine until - after the job is restarted, when again my shell script sends a kill -USR2 signal, it terminated abnormally.
The debug output shows that working dir is null.
The debug output is as follows:

Test.sh: Sending checkpoint signal to process: 22037
Got SIGUSR2
Saved signal state.

Condor: Error: Couldn't move to '��p' (No such file or directory).  Please fix it.

./job.sh: line 61: 22037 Killed                  ./helloWorld -_condor_restart helloWorld.ckpt


-----------------------
Now see the working dir line -- why does it not show the working directory? I have restarted the process as:
./helloWorld -_condor_restart helloWorld.ckpt

So the problem is: After a job is restarted from last checkpoint - it cannot be checkpointed again by sending USR2 or CTRL+Z signal.
Does anyone know any remedy?
