That could mean a lot of different things, depending on what the "job"
was. I think I know what you mean, though...when you shutdown, the state
of the job in *RAM* is saved and then when you reboot, it is restored.

Probably better to do the standard thing and save your own state data to
disk in a config file or database, then quit the process, then resume
with a new job (using the saved state data) after reboot.

All processes will necessarily disappear between reboots unless you have
some *really* funky hacks, perhaps the checkpointing stuff that Craig
Ringer mentioned a while ago.
