Hi Yu, Which version of DMTCP are you using? Could you use dmtcp-2.4.0-rc2? In that case, the best environment variable to use will be: DMTCP_RESTART_PAUSE2 DMTCP_RESTART_PAUSE2=1 dmtcp_launch a.out [ Then create a checkpoint image as usual. ] ./dmtcp_restart_script.sh [ or: dmtcp_restart ckpt_*.dmtcp ] It will print to the screen, and give you 15 seconds to attach to the process using GDB. Let us know if this works for you.

The sample program is attached. I read the Q&A link, which say that I can set up MTCP_RESTART_PAUSE environment variable to pause the program and then gdb can attach the process. However, I try several times and it doesn't work. Could you give me some help on this?
