Hi, Dear Netter,

  We are running DQS-2.1 and pvm3.2.6. and have a problem of "#$ -pvm" doesn't
work.  Please help
Here is the input script (pvm.sh)
  #!/bin/csh
  hostname
  #$ -N RMME
  #$ -cwd
  #$ -pvm
  sleep 60
  echo "******** cmd hostname **********************"
  hostname
  echo "******** cmd printenv **********************"
  printenv
  echo "******** cmd sleep 30 **********************"
  sleep 30
  echo "******** Done at **********************"
  date
  # now a pvm client
  hello

Here is the output of RMME.e30
  libpvm [pid1190]: /tmp/pvmd.9201: No such file or directory
  libpvm [pid1190]: pvm_mytid(): Can't contact local daemon
  libpvm [pid1190]: /tmp/pvmd.9201: No such file or directory

  libpvm [pid1190]: pvm_exit(): Can't contact local daemon

Here is the output of RMME.o30
  Warning: no access to tty; thus no job control in this shell...

  i'm tfffffff2
  can't start hello_other
  logout

From dqs_execd with DEBUG on I got something
  311 --> pvm_exec() at ../SRC/pvm_exec.c:92
  313 at ../SRC/dfork.c:67
       Inserting PVMD process 321 onto process list
  ...
  372 at ../SRC/reaper.c:155
       -->   2: PID 321 is a PVMD process
  374 at ../SRC/reaper.c:164
       Deleted PVMD process 321 from process list

It seems that the PVMD was up, but I didn't see it up at all.

What did I miss? 
How can I tell to use which pvmd? (PVMD2,PVMD3 or PVME) if I can only "#$ -pvm" ?

May be I shouldn't ask questions on this net because I understand it is more
likely a dqs problem (not a pvm).  But you do pvm, very likely you do dqs too.
and I don't know where I can turn to for help on dqs problem because I
couldn't find a dqs net group or a LISTSERV.

Thanks.
