It never seemed to.
But of course if you have procs with same pid, the collisions are obvious.
So, do the easy thing:
for all nodes, mount them at
/proc/localhost
/proc/hostname/whatever
Then modify ps (takes about 5 minutes) so it iterates over /proc/*
where * is a set of host names.
now you can do fun stuff
slay node8/mpirun | rc
slay node*/mpirun | rc
There's a lot of good stuff in there if you want to use it ... I
actually implemented all this a few years back when Vic did hist first
xcpu code. It was really nice.
