Really? That doesn't sound right - we don't touch the
arguments to your application. We test that pretty regularly
and I have always seen the args come through.

Can you provide an example of where it isn't?

Sorry Ralph, I caused some confusion here. You are correct that OMPI does nothing to muck with any arguments passed to the user application -- they come through as expected.

I meant that when launching a binary with MPICH mpirun, it would _append_ to the command line arguments things including -p4pg and -p4wd, possibly -p4amslave, which we could detect at run- time in the app context to determine that the app had indeed been launched with mpirun.

Whew! Thanks for clarifying!



Brian
