Is it possible to freeze the current status of a process and
restart it at a later time so that it begins execution at
the point where it was frozen?  

I have the problem to do some number crunching. I want to save
the process and restart it next day or so.

It would be nice to have such a feature.

Does any kind of *nix or other OS support this?

TIA
Robert
