Jeff and Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
1) I'm not running on machines with OpenFabrics.
2) In my example, ompi-ps prints a maximum 82 bytes per line. Even so, I
augment to 300 bytes per line to be sure that it is not the problem.
char mystring [300];
...
fgets (mystring , 300 , pFile);
2) When I run ps, it shows just two process: ps and bash.
PID TTY TIME CMD
1961 pts/5 00:00:00 bash
2154 pts/5 00:00:00 ps
But when I run ps -a -l, it appears my program(test.run) and other
processes. I put below just the information related to my program.
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
0 S 1000 1841 1840 0 80 0 - 18054 pipe_w pts/0 00:00:00 test.run
0 S 1000 1842 1840 0 80 0 - 18053 poll_s pts/0 00:00:00 test.run
0 S 1000 1843 1840 0 80 0 - 18053 poll_s pts/0 00:00:00 test.run
0 S 1000 1844 1840 0 80 0 - 18053 poll_s pts/0 00:00:00 test.run
pipe_s = wait state on read/write against a pipe.
So, with that command I concluded that one mpi process is waiting for the
read of a pipe.
The problem still persists.
Thanks,
Matheus.
