On a desktop PC (not a laptop) running a Linux 2.6.x kernel I want to be able
to suspend a single process (e.g FireFox) and then shut down my Linux Fedora
Core 5 box, and then start up again and then restore the FireFox process to
exactly the place it was before it was suspended. So all windows and tabs will
have exactly the content they had when I suspended that process.

It would be handy to be able to hibernate all processes running as my user. But
if I could just do this to individual processes I really only need to hibernate
2 or 3 processes.

I use KDE 3.5.5. I used to have Gnome as the desktop and I think it had a full
hibernate. But the shutdown choices for KDE do not have such a feature.

I've gone into KDE Control Center | KDE Components | Session Manager | On Login
and selected "Restore manually saved session". That gives a Save Session
option. But if I use that, shut down, reboot, it just freshly starts the list
of apps I previously had running. Though it remembers some things about which
command interpreters were open. Still, it is not saving the entire state of a
process.

So is there a way to save the entire state of a process?

Is there a way to save the entire state of all user processes for my login
session?

I'm looking for either selective single process hibernate or a wider ranging
hibernate and restore.
