.SH NAME
.B pbs_mpirun

.B Deprecated.  
Run MPI programs under PBS with MPICH

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pbs_mpirun 
[<mpirun options>]

.B pbs_mpirun 
--version
.SH DESCRIPTION

The PBS command 
.B pbs_mpirun 
replaces the standard 
.I mpirun 
command in a PBS
MPICH job using P4.  

On Windows, this command cannot be used to start job processes or
to track a job's resource usage.

.B Prerequisite
.br
The PATH on remote machines must contain 
.I PBS_EXEC/bin.

.SH USAGE
Usage is the same as for 
.I mpirun, 
except for the 
.I -machinefile 
option.  All other options are passed directly to 
.I mpirun.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "<mpirun options>" 8
The 
.I options 
to 
.B pbs_mpirun 
are the same as for 
.I mpirun, 
except for the
.I -machinefile 
option.  This is generated by 
.B pbs_mpirun.
The user should not attempt to specify 
.I -machinefile.

The value for 
.I -machinefile
is a temporary
file created from 
.I PBS_NODEFILE 
in the format:
       hostname-1[:number of processors]
       hostname-2[:number of processors]
       hostname-n[:number of processors]

where if the number of processors is not specified, it is 1.
An attempt  by the user to specify the 
.I -machinefile 
option
will result in a warning saying "Warning, -machinefile value
replaced by PBS".

The default value for the 
.I -np 
option is the number of entries in PBS_NODEFILE.

.IP "--version" 8
The 
.B pbs_mpirun
command returns its PBS version information and exits.
This option can only be used alone.
.LP
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
.B pbs_mpirun 
modifies 
.I P4_RSHCOMMAND 
and 
.I PBS_RSHCOMMAND.  
Users should not
edit these.  
.B pbs_mpirun 
copies the value of 
.I P4_RSHCOMMAND 
into 
.I PBS_RSHCOMMAND.
