 +    * Create a link from old working directory to new working directory (saved in the pwd text file) 
 +    * And edit the script and change the comment blocks and edit the process_id 
 +      * The restart job may end up on another node but will same process_id 
 + 
 +After you have restarted, you can observe the tool starting from the checkpoint file you are pointing to.  To simulate a crash, while your first submission is running with ''cr_run'' you can simply find the node it is running on and the process ID (in the file *out) then issue the command ''ssh node_name kill process_id'' and wait for the next while iteration to terminate the program.  The scheduler will think the job terminate fine (job status DONE). Or just issue a ''bkill'' command, you should be able to recover from it too. 
 + 
 +It would be ever sweeter if the scheduler could be told to do all the checkpointing at intervals.  I'm investigating that but in the meantime you can do it manually.
