Hello,

It is against the idea of parallel computing but you can do something like
this

if (rank == 0)
{
    //do something
    int done = 1;
    MPI_Send((void*)&done, 1, MPI_INT, 1, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD):
}
else if (rank == 1)
{
    MPI_Status * status;
    int start;
    MPI_Recv((void*)&start, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD,
status)://will wait till receive something from rank=0
    //do something
}

Simply, just keep second program on waiting. This is the simplest solution
I can come up with :)
