Hi Mark,

I'm testing openmpi 1.2rc1 with GridEngine 6.0u9 and ran into interesting
behaviour when using the qsub -notify option.
With -notify, USR1 and USR2 are sent X seconds before sending STOP and KILL
signals, respectively.

When the USR2 signal is sent to the process group with the mpirun process, I
receive an error message about not being able to start a daemon:

mpirun: Forwarding signal 12 to job[dealc12:18212] ERROR: A daemon on node

Hmm, this is interesting. I just tried using the -notify on my sample
batch job but I wasn't able to reproduce on Solaris. I tried sending a
USR2 signal and that kills all of the child and mpirun exits.

Isn't on Solaris the additonal group ID used to determine the processes to signal, but default on Linux is the processgroup (unless otherwise configured in the SGE config)?

Usually when the child processes aren't started up properly, there is a
high chance that the qrsh or orte daemon is not started.

% qsub -notify start-qsub.tcsh
Your job 1277 ("job") has been submitted
% kill -USR2 `pgrep orterun`
% more job.*1278

The job eventually stops, but the mpirun process itself continues to live
(just the ppid changes).

According to orte(1)/Signal Propagation, USR1 and USR2 should be propagated to all processes in the job (which seems to be happening), but why is a
daemon start being attempted and the mpirun not being stopped?

Is there a way you can print the stack on the mpirun, to see if it's
waiting for something?
