Thank you so much Mac. Its working with system().
Best regards,

Use "system" instead of "execl". For more information try "man execl" and "man system". Basically, the first call to execl causes your program to be replaced by /bin/date.
HTH,

Subject: LAM: Problem running external program.
I am trying to run two external program sequentially. The program runs fine till the first external program call and dont execute the second one.
The code is as below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "mpi.h"
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
int *buf, i, rank, nints, len;
char hostname[256];
MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
gethostname(hostname,255);
printf("Hello world! I am process number: %d on host %s\n", rank, hostname);
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
execl("/bin/date", "date", NULL);
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
execl("/bin/ls", "ls", NULL);
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
The output I am getting is as below:
Hello world! I am process number: 0 on host cluster
Hello world! I am process number: 1 on host cluster
Hello world! I am process number: 2 on host compute-0-1.local
Hello world! I am process number: 4 on host compute-0-2.local
Hello world! I am process number: 3 on host compute-0-1.local
Hello world! I am process number: 5 on host compute-0-2.local
