Hi ppl,

My friends and I need some suggestions with a certain aspect of our project.
Suppose, we have a local process running on a remote terminal,
i.e. the process has been migrated to the remote terminal,
how can we make sure that all interactive statements for input-output
should be redirected back to the original terminal where the
processes originated. Basically, how do we carry out process migration
for interactive processes...

Thanx,
Anuraag;)

I would freeze the state of a process, page it on to disk, then send the pages across the network, and page it into memory on the new machine. You would probably want an event system which prepares the process for transfering (so it's not in the middle of disk writing or something). For the input/output, you might think about keeping a network byte stream between the host computer and the origional?

This thread is > 5.5 years old...

That shows us how eager we are in helping eachother...

after paging it out to disk, what about the streams it has opened or waiting on? How can we replicate that?
