Here is my proc file:
eland 0
/net/eland/export/home0/starkie/comm_exp/1.3main/bin/SunOS-5.5-sparc/rtiexec
eland 1
/net/eland/export/home0/starkie/comm_exp/1.3main/bin/SunOS-5.5-sparc/rtiexec

I run the app as follows:
mpirun -p4pg rtiexec.proc rtiexec

when I do a ps -u starkie | grep rtiexec, I see the following:
eland(rtiexec) 557> ps -u starkie | grep rtiexec
  1904 ?        0:09 rtiexec
  1905 ?        0:00 rtiexec
  1896 pts/5    0:00 rtiexec
  1895 pts/5    0:02 rtiexec
eland(rtiexec) 558>

Why are there four instances of rtiexec instead of two?

Cordially,
