OMPI-CHECKPOINT(1)                 Open MPI                 OMPI-CHECKPOINT(1)



NAME
       ompi-checkpoint, orte-checkpoint - Checkpoint a running parallel
       process using the Open MPI Checkpoint/Restart Service (CRS)

       NOTE: ompi-checkpoint, and orte-checkpoint are all exact synonyms for
       each other. Using any of the names will result in exactly identical
       behavior.

SYNOPSIS
       ompi-checkpoint [ options ] <PID_OF_MPIRUN>

Options
       orte-checkpoint will attempt to notify a running parallel job
       (identified by mpirun) that it has been requested that the job
       checkpoint itself. A global snapshot handle reference is presented to
       the user, which is used in ompi_restart to restart the job.

       <PID_OF_MPIRUN>
                 Process ID of the mpirun process.

       -h | --help
                 Display help for this command

       -w | --nowait
                 Do not wait for the application to finish checkpointing
                 before returning.

       -s | --status
                 Display status messages regarding the progression of the
                 checkpoint request.

       --term    After checkpointing the running job, terminate it.

       -v | --verbose
                 Enable verbose output for debugging.

       -gmca | --gmca <key> <value>
                 Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all
                 contexts. <key> is the parameter name; <value> is the
                 parameter value.

       -mca | --mca <key> <value>
                 Send arguments to various MCA modules.

DESCRIPTION
       orte-checkpoint can be invoked multiple, non-overlapping times.  It is
       convenient to note that the user does not need to spectify the
       checkpointer to be used here, as that is determined completely by each
       of the running process in the job being checkpointed.
