MIGRATE(M1)                     MOSIX Commands                    MIGRATE(M1)
  
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).
