Also note that the next version of LAM/MPI -- which, I *swear* we'll release soon -- will have many of these features:
1. mpiexec to start processes 2. use PBS's native TM to start/stop processes (instead of rsh/ssh) 3. funnel all MPI processes' I/O back to mpirun/mpiexec All of this is included in LAM/MPI without the need to patch OpenPBS. Actually LAM/MPI has had #3 for quite a while, but I thought I'd mention it since you specifically asked about it. LAM/MPI does not funnel stdin anywhere other than the MPI_COMM_WORLD rank that is on the same node as mpiexec/mpirun, however. Once we finally release LAM/MPI 7.0, we'll be making the OSCAR-ized RPM's which will likely install nicely on most versions of OSCAR.
