Hi, My main aim is to checkpoint a process to a file so that I can resume it later. But I find it difficult to access any other process' image given a PID. Some of the errors after inserting the modules are 1. Unable to handle NULL pointer exception at kernel address _____. 2. The system hangs 3. The system restarts. I am trying to use the functions provided in source file ptrace.c It provides functions for accessing vm_areas, but no function is provided for accessing mm datastructure. I hope to get some help from you.Please. Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
