I didn't spawn programs like you. I will test my program like you. > Also, reading from a file from the program (using fopen() in C) has the same > problem. > Reading from a file from the program has no problem if you use an absolute file path for input file. But, if you don't specify absolute file path, pvm program find input file in your home directory if you execute your program in pvm console or xpvm. But, you execute program in command mode, then the program finds input file in the current directory. > Any ideas? Thanks. > > Steve.
