I'm glad that someone else can almost reproduce my problem. On the suspicion that my application was not ignoring usr1/usr2, I added a signal handler that simply outputs "ignoring SIGUSR*". The shell script now has trap 'echo script usr1' USR1 trap 'echo script usr2' USR2 > So in the SGE case: usr1 should be caught by the mpirun (and not > terminate it), which will notify the daemons to stop each ones child > processes. This would simulate a real suspend, performed by OpenMPI. Using qmod -sj to suspend the job (sending the usr1 warning signal), I have the same behaviour as before. Interestingly enough, I get two messages: mpirun: Forwarding signal 10 to job The daemon received a signal 10. After these messages, only the sge-shepherd and mpirun are alive - the job and qrsh processes are gone. Some time later, the following message also appears: mpirun: Forwarding signal 12 to job after which, no processes are left, *except* the mpirun, which I need to kill by hand. In case the configuration is a factor, the cluster machines are running with a stock SuSE 9.2 (Linux 2.6.8-24-smp and/or 2.6.8-24.16-smp). The openmpi configuration: ./configure \ --prefix=$OPENMPI_ARCH_PATH \ --enable-shared \ --disable-static \ --disable-mpi-f77 \ --disable-mpi-f90 \ --disable-mpi-profile \ --disable-mpi-cxx /mark This e-mail message and any attachments may contain legally privileged, confidential or proprietary Information, or information otherwise protected by law of ArvinMeritor, Inc., its affiliates, or third parties.
