: The whole point of using PVM for me is to make it so I can run a bunch of
: processes in parallel on a bunch of machines WITHOUT having to rlogin to
: each one by hand.  These other problems seem to defeat the purpose.

: Does anyone have advice on how to (1) kill a master and all its slaves
: without leaving dangling processes, and (2) configure a virtual machine
: using all available hosts, even if some are [accidentally] already running
: PVM?

Even better would be to use pvm itself and all its stuff from the hostfile
to kill all processes and delete the log files! 

Maybe the pvmd could have an additional flag (let's say -kill) to use the 
usual startup process to reach each host of the hostfile and then kill all 
unused things.
