I'm looking for a daemon for SunOS 4 that periodically checks for user's detached processes and saves (i.e., dumps a copy of core) to the disk in a temporary file. If the system crashes or is shut down, it restores the last copy as a running detached process belonging to the appropriate user upon reboot. Ideally, a single program would handle both phases of this process. On startup, it checks for copies in a specific directory and restores them to running condition and then goes on to do the periodic core copy. The motivation is obvious. We have users that run detached process as 'batch' jobs. These jobs run for days and if the system goes down may hours of CPU time are lost. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
