Something that the old DEC took a few stabs at was the idea of a "checkpoint" feature where a process or a series of processes could be put in a quiesced state. This would page out the process or processes into the swap space, allow a hardware shutdown, and after a reboot allow the restart of the checkpointed process(es). (Not as fun as SMP but fairly slick) Later Mark Hittinger Earthlink!Mindspring!Netcom!Dallas bugs@freebsd.netcom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
