AFAIK, standard so-called "check-pointing" software does exactly this job for
you with *any* application that you desire running under its control. Such
check-pointing software is surely available for free under Linux/Unix -- I
remember having once used an according tool called "Condor" which was even
able to check-point *distributed* applications on a network of workstations.
