The pvm_spawn function requires directly executable files. You need to execute something like c:\winnt\cmd.exe x.bat instead of just x.bat I think that will do it for you. ---------------------------------------------- Paul Crowley pcrowley@chi.navtech.com 847-795-7319 ---------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Wm.

Message from the Deja.com forum: comp.parallel.pvm Your subscription is set to individual email delivery Hi! I'm being frustrated by trying to spawn a PVM process on the NT and it keeps returning a TID of -7 (PvmNoFile) and 0 tasks started. I do have this running fine on the UNIX side. This is a piece of Java software (using the jPVM as a bridge) I'm working on for my research lab. I have dynamically generated batch files being written by the java process and then being passed to pvm_spawn with the task being "c:\local-~1\common\ofmsper.bat" and an argz[] = new String[0]. The batch file merely does start /min java ... with a whole bunch (more than 10 therefore, command line was getting swamped with %1 -- if the executable action gets solved, I'll go back and try to run it directly.) I've written up a hostfile that specifies (for the NT): * dx=c:\progra~1\pvm3.4\lib\win32\pvmd3.exe wd=c:\progra~1\common ep=c:\progra~1\pvm3.4\lib\win32;c:\progra~1\pvm3.4\bin\win32;c:\temp;c:\prog ra~1\common The batch files work fine on their own, but just not from the spawn. Any ideas? Carbon my email as well as post to the newsgroup please. Thanks, Michael. wmgray@cc.gatech.edu _____________________________________________________________ Deja.com: Share what you know.
