Before you implement something, you might want to check out libckpt at

http://www.cs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/www/libckpt.html

or Condor at

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/

Both are free, user-level solutions to checkpointing and restarting programs.
In addition to checkpointing, Condor is designed for process migration
across machines.
