Our login-shell is a tcsh and it reads a lot of config-files on startup. Thats why it takes some time to start a process on another host with rsh. The result is, that mpi is running into a timeout during startup: mathias@shenzi (~/source/java_mpi) mpirun -pg -p4pg prg.file /opt/java/JDK/bin/../bin/sparc/green_threads/java Test p0_29038: p4_error: Timeout in making connection to remote process on schalu: 0 bm_list_29055: p4_error: interrupt SIGINT: 2 P4 procgroup file is prg.file. A workaround is to move the .cshrc to another location, but it isn't a good solution. Is it possible, to solve this problem in a better way, for instance to start the tcsh on the remote hosts with option -f or to start another shell? Thanx in advance for your answers, Mathias -- Mathias Waack | mathias@mufasa.informatik.uni-mannheim.de Tel.: +49 621 292 1620 Fax.: +49 621 292 5597
