Richard, By its nature, cr_restart has to do some pretty "unconventional" stuff. However, I am suprised that it is crashing. The program cr_restart is really only a requester for the restart, so I am not sure how valuable it is to run gdb against cr_restart. What you really probably want it a way to attach the debugger to the restarted process. We don't have any currelty known issues or work-arounds related to debugger use. I encourage you to enter into bugzilla a detailed description of your problem and we'll see if it is something we can address. -Paul Richard Hu wrote: > Hi, > > I had a question about debugging when attempting to restart a program > using your Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart program that I was hoping > you could answer.
