I just got snagged by this myself. A prte I had that was only a few weeks old accepted the following:
prte -daemonize -hostfile myhostfile Then I pulled this morning to pickup some stop-on-exec support that Ralph is working on, and the above command stopped working. I needed the following instead: prte --daemonize --hostfile myhostfile It was a good thing that I saw his email about MTT, otherwise I might still be scratching my head. Cheers, John D.
