WARM(1spp)
NAME
warm − attempt to warm start current image
SYNOPSIS
warm
DESCRIPTION
The warm command examines memory for a restart block. If a restart block is found and is correctly formatted, control is transferred to the existing memory image at the entry point given in the restart block. A restart block contains information which indicates how to re-enter an existing image. Typically, the existing image has earlier aborted or terminated due to a device failure. Warm start entry points for the image may attempt to save state that is present in memory, dump core images to secondary storage, or simply reload a new image of the aborted program and restart.
