NAME
MIGRATE - Manual control of running MOSIX processes
SYNOPSIS
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} {node-number|IP-address|host}
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} home
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} out
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} freeze
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} continue
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} checkpoint
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} chkstop
migrate {{pid}|-j{jobID}} chkexit
DESCRIPTION
Migrate {pid} manually migrates or otherwise affects a given MOSIX pro-
cess (pid).
Migrate -j{jobID} does the same to all of the user's processes with the
given jobID (see mosrun(1)).
The first option ({node-number|IP-address|host}) specifies a recommended
target node to which to migrate the process(es). Note that no error is
returned if MOSIX ignores this recommendation.
The home option forces the process(es) to migrate back to its home-node.
The out option forces a guest process(es) to move out of this node (this
option is available only to the Super-User,
The freeze option freezes the process(es) (guest processes may not be
frozen).
The continue option unfreeze the process(es).
The checkpoint option requests the process(es) to take a checkpoint.
The chkstop option requests the process(es) to take a checkpoint and
stop: the process(es) may then be resumed with SIGCONT.
The chkexit option requests the process(es) to take a checkpoint and
exit.
Migrate sends the instruction, but does not wait until the process(es)
respond to it (or reject it).
Except for the Super-User, one can normally migrate or affect only their
own processes. The rule is: if you can kill it, you are also allowed to
migrate/affect it.
The best way to locate and find the PID of MOSIX processes is by using
mosrun(1), mosps(1).
