.SH NAME
.
opal-restart \- Restart a previously checkpointed sequential process using the
Open PAL Checkpoint/Restart Service (CRS)
.
.P
\fBNote\fR: This should only be used by the user if the application being
restarted is an OPAL-only application. If it is an Open RTE or Open MPI
program their respective tools should be used.

.\" **************************
.\" Options Section

.SH Options
.
\fIopal-restart\fR will attempt to restart a previously checkpointed squential
process from the snapshot handle reference returned by \fIopal_checkpoint\fP.
.
.TP 10
.B <SNAPSHOT HANDLE>
The snapshot handle reference returned by \fIopal_checkpoint\fP, used to
restart the process. This is required to be the last argument to this command.
.
.
.TP
.B -h | --help
Display help for this command
.
.
.TP
.B --fork
Fork off a new process, which is the restarted process. By default, the
restarted process will replace \fIopal-restart\fR process.
.
.
.TP
.B -w | --where
The location of the local snapshot reference.
.
.
.TP
.B -s | --self
Restart this process using the \fIself\fR CRS component. This component is a
special case, all other CRS components are automatically detected.
.
.
.TP
.B -v | --verbose
Enable verbose output for debugging.
.
.
.TP
.B -gmca | --gmca \fR<key> <value>\fP
Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all contexts. \fI<key>\fP is
the parameter name; \fI<value>\fP is the parameter value.
.
.
.TP
.B -mca | --mca <key> <value>
Send arguments to various MCA modules.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.
.PP
\fIopal-restart\fR can be invoked multiple, non-overlapping times. This
allows the user to restart a previously running sequential
process. See opal_crs(7) for more information about the CRS framework and
components.
.
.PP
When using the \fIself\fR CRS component, the \fB<FILENAME>\fR argument is
replaced by the name of the program to be restarted followed by any arguments
that need to be passed to the program. For example, if under normal execution
we would start our program "foo" as:
\fBshell$\fP setenv OPAL_MCA_crs=self
\fBshell$\fP setenv OPAL_MCA_crs_self_prefix=my_callback_prefix
\fBshell$\fP ./foo arg1 arg2
To restart this process, we may only need to call:
\fBshell$\fP opal-restart --self
-mca crs_self_prefix my_callback_prefix \\
./foo arg1 arg2
This will cause the "my_callback_prefix-restart" function to be called as soon
as the program "foo" calls \fIOPAL_INIT\fP. You do not have to call your
program with the same argument set as before. There for we could have just as
correctly called:
\fBshell$\fP opal-restart --self \\
-mca crs_self_prefix my_callback_prefix \\
./foo arg3
This depends upon the behavior of the program "foo".
