I’m using lam to run a large number of parallel jobs
on a cluster using the PBS batch system. Each script that is submitted
performs a lamboot command. It is very likely that more than one job may
be started on a single node. I have been setting the
LAM_MPI_SESSION_SUFFIX to a job ID number so that there is a unique LAM deamon
associated with each batch job that is submitted. My particular question
is what happens when I execute the lamhalt command. Since there is no
option to specify the appropriate suffix for which lam deamon to close what
happens. Will lamhalt only halt the lam deamon that was used for that
particular job. If so, how does it know which one to kill. I don’t
want lamhalt to halt the deamon for a different job that happens to be running
one the same node.
