Dear OpenMPI users, Regarding to this previous post <http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2009/06/9560.php> from 2009, I wonder if the reply from Ralph Castain is still valid. My need is similar but quite simpler: to make a system call from an openmpi fortran application to run a third party openmpi application. I don't need to exchange mpi messages with the application. I just need to read the resulting output file generated by it. I have tried to do the following system call from my fortran openmpi code:
call system("sh -c 'mpirun -n 2 app_name") but I get ********************************************************** Open MPI does not support recursive calls of mpirun ********************************************************** Is there a way to make this work? Best regards, Alex
