If you are running pvm version 3, the correct command to use the hostfile is
         
   	" pvmd3 hostfile & "

" pvm " will not read from any file, it will only start up the pvm daemon 
on the local host. You can add other hosts to your virtual machine at the 
pvm console prompt.

Hope it helps.

Regards.
