Sorry for the delay; you wrote while many of us were on vacation and we're just now starting to catch up on past mails...
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do. It sounds like you're trying to replace one process with another. That's quite complicated; there will be a lot of changes required in the code base to do this. - you'll need to notify the ORTE subsystem of the process change - this notification will likely need to span multiple processes - all MPI processes will need to quiesce their communications, disconnect, and reconnect - ...and probably other things That being said, you might be able to leverage some of the work that's been done with checkpoint/restart/migration. It's not entirely the same thing that you're doing, but it's at least similar (quiesce networks, [pretend to] move a process from location A to location B, etc.).
