[Condor-users] stand alone checkpointing

[Rosie Coates <r.coates@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using a c program to submit jobs to condor as well as updating and 
extracting information from a mysql database. The program won't be 
running on condor but I understand that it's possible to compile this 
program using condor_compile to enable checkpointing so that SIGUSR2 
signal etc. will not completely cripple all that's been achieved so far 
and we can restart the program from the same place using condor_resume. 
Is this going to work? Also I have the c line sleep(time_period) in my 
code which I understand is not allowed when run on condor in the 
non-vanilla universe but would it be ok compiling but not running on condor?

Thanks

Rosie
