[GE users] Application-Level Checkpointing

I thought the job could be migrated (and restarted) on suspend using the 
checkpoint configuration for when,
from man checkpoint,

  when
       The points of time when checkpoints are expected to be 
generated.  Valid values for this parameter are composed  by  the
       letters  s,  m,  x  and r and any combinations thereof without 
any separating character in between. The same letters are
       allowed for the -c option of the qsub(1) command which will 
overwrite the definitions in the used checkpointing environ-
       ment.  The meaning of the letters is defined as follows:

       s      A  job  is  checkpointed,  aborted and if possible 
migrated if the corresponding sge_execd(8) is shut down on the
              job's machine.

       m      Checkpoints are generated periodically at the 
min_cpu_interval interval defined by the queue (see  queue_conf(5))
              in which a job executes.

*       x      A  job  is  checkpointed, aborted and if possible 
migrated as soon as the job gets suspended (manually as well as
              automatically).
*
       r      A job will be rescheduled (not checkpointed) when the host 
on which the job  currently  runs  went  into  unknown
              state  and  the time interval reschedule_unknown (see 
sge_conf(5)) defined in the global/local cluster configura-
              tion will be exceeded.
