Thanks for the reply and don't worry about the delay. Yeah, i supposse it wouln't be easy :(. But my final goal is what you are mentioning, is to stop one particular process (previously checkpointed) and the migrate it to another place (node, core, slot, etc.) and restart it there, but without making a coordinated checkpoint. I just need to checkpoint processes in an uncoordinated way, and move them.
Where can i see something about process migration in the code? or something that could guide me. Greetings.
