Andrew, That worked like a champ. Now my users can have it both ways. For the record, my control statements looked like the following:
/opt/openmpi-1.2.4/bin/mpirun -mca pls ^tm -np $NP -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE $my_binary_path My job works just fine and reports no errors. This version of OpenMPI was built with "--with-tm=/usr/local/pbs". Thanks for your help, Pat J.W.
