are you sure this is the right syntax: ssh node1 echo $PATH ? ssh node1 echo $PATH gives me only the full PATH and doesn't log me on to node1. OK, here's what I've tried: ssh node1 && echo $PATH gives me first the $PATH on the master, and then the reduced one, as you said. echo $PATH ssh node1 && echo $PATH gives me the master $PATH twice, and then the reduced one. At least now I know that ~/.bashrc is not being called at all. You see, I've also tried ssh node1 and if ssh is using non-interactive login bash, it should start a .bashrc. If it started .bashrc on the master, it would, because of the echo $PATH , echo the master $PATH, and if it starts the .bashrc on the slave node, it would echo the reduced path. Something is not right. I've even written echo master node and echo slave node in both .bashrc and nothing echoed. if i try ssh mario 'echo $PATH' i get the reduced $PATH still. One more thing to know, I set ALL environmental variables using OpenFOAM's bashrc script, both for OpenFOAM and OMPI, but this shouldn't make any difference because . $FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/bashrc script sets all the variables the right way on the master AND slave node , meaning that I run successful serial simulations on both computers. :) Any suggestions?
