Hi all, Heres a query. One of my friend is working on adding a system call in Linux, called hibernate(), which will freeze a process, store everything related to it on say hard disk, remove the process and later on [ this may be after days ] restoring the same process. Can anyone give me pointers as to what to look out for or any ideas? TIA Regards Ketan *** Never trust the man who tells you all his troubles but keeps from you all his joys.
