cr_run1

Usage

Overview

cr_run takes an arbitrary command and runs it with the "LD_PRELOAD" environment variable set so that an appropriate shared library is loaded at program startup. Such a library must be loaded if you wish to take a checkpoint of the process with cr_checkpoint(1).

cr_run assumes that BLCR's libraries (libcr*.so) can be found in the default library search path or via the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable.

You do not need to use cr_run if you explicitly link your application with -lcr (you may also need to modify your linker's search path with a -L directive, depending on the library's location), or if libcr.so or a related library is loaded by other libraries you have linked with (such as a checkpoint-ready MPI library), or by your system's parallel job startup script, etc. Check your system documentation for details.
