Jeff:

I've tried my application with MPICH2 and OpenMPI only. The readline stuff
works in OpenMPI as long as I don't start my application with mpirun. It
does not work in MPICH2 irrespective of whether I start my application with
mpirun or not.

My application starts on a workstation and spawns slave processes on cluster
nodes. The application provides an interactive command shell and provides
some GUI functionality using X.

Do you know how bad is the MPI_Comm_spawn issue if I don't start my
application via an mpirun?

Thanks.
Saadat.

 Sorry for not replying earlier.

It is likely that Open MPI won't work properly in this situation -- Open
MPI provides basic I/O forwarding.  I don't know if curses-based or
readline-based applications will work through our forwarding.

Do you know if this application works with other MPI implementations?

 When I run my MPI enabled application via mpirun, my application
command-prompt looses its readline editing capability. I was wondering if
there is workaround.

Thanks.
