Hi Brian, I tried what you suggested (piping out stdout) but it did't work.

It's possible that we broke pty handling on AIX. Just out of curiosity, what happens if you try something like: mpirun -np 1 uptime | cat This will cause mpirun to think stdout is connected to a pipe instead of a pty, so we won't try to use our pty code (and default to standard pipes for stdio forwarding).
