This next message I have sent directly to Vijay Tandra-Sistla and may also be of interest to you. good luck. Hello Vijay I'm using the Ataman rsh and rshd. In the Ataman control panel I have set the home directory to ...\pvm3.4\lib\win32. If you then rsh the remote computer and do a dir you should see pvmd3.exe. If you don't, you have a problem with rsh or your network. To test the network try pinging the remote computer by using the start button then run and type "ping ". If the reply fails the network is causing a problem. Even though most of the environmental variables are set in the registry you still need to set PVM_RSH to your rsh program ie. c:\progra~1\pvm3.4\rshd\rsh.exe. you need to point to the actual .exe file not just the directory. Test it by typing "%PVM_RSH% -l dir". you should get the directory containing pvmd3.exe. Make sure you do not have a file called pvmd. in your pvm_temp directory on either machine. If you do, just trash it. stands for your user id and is left there If the daemon crashes. The daemon won't start again until you remove it. If all goes well you should be able to add hosts by typing add " dx=pvmd3.exe" at the pvm prompt. Don't forget the double quote marks they are important. If Pvm hangs during an add then the rsh software will probably also hang and you need to restart or control-alt-delete and halt the rsh program and maybe "winoldapp". Don't forget to check for "pvmd. in your PVM_TEMP folder (by default windows\temp) if you win-alt-delete check to make sure your rsh is working again before you try to add host again regards Graeme %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Graeme Shea Masters Candidate University of Ballarat Victoria Australia Phone +61 (0)3 5331 4440 Fax As Above (phone first) E-mail graeme@netconnect.com.au _______________________________________________________________________ Jacques Dubeau wrote in message <635lnd$11m$1@news.cyberus.ca>... >PVMers > >I am attempting to run the simple example programs issued with pvm3.3.10 >and pvm3.4 (beta) on Win95 machines.
