title: How to Pause / Resume Training in Tensorflow
body: <p>This question was made before the documentation for save and restore was available.
  For now I would consider this question deprecated and say people to rely on the official documentation on <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Save and Restore</a></p>
  
  <p>Gist of old question: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I got <strong>TF</strong> working fine for the <a href="http://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/deep_cnn/index.md#launching_and_training_the_model" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CIFAR Tutorial</a>.  I've changed
    the code to save the <code>train_dir</code> (directory with checkpoint and
    models) to a know location.</p>
    
    <p>Which brings me to my <strong>question</strong> :How can I pause and resume some
    training with <strong>TF</strong> ?</p>
