hi,
  I am new to Lam Mpi. We are trying to device a scheduler that does on demand scheduling. so when we need to speed up the execution of a particular job we want to expand the number of nodes on which the job is executing, so that the job finishes before the deadline.
  I was looking into MPI_Comm_Spawn, which can be used to spawn new processes.
  Is there any way for the spawning parent to know if the spawned child process has finished executing?

thanks in advance,
Satya.
