HI friends, following tis the error came when i was trying to connect to host, for parallel running.

An error has occurred in cfx5solve:

Unable to start the PVM daemon on host Bioinform. This may indicate that the PVM daemon is already running on that host, or that it left files in /tmp on that host because it did not exit cleanly last time it was run Contents of /tmp/pvml.504: | | | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:13:49 CFD-5.ChemEngg.iisc.ernet.in (144.16.- | | 75.821:32797) LINUX 3.4.4 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:13:49 ready Tue Sep 13 17:13:49 2005 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:25:53 netoutput() timed out sending to cfd- | | -6 after 14, 190.000000 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:25:53 hd_dump() ref 1 t 0xc0000 n "cfd-2"- | | a "" ar "LINUX" dsig 0x408841 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:25:53 lo "" so "" dx "/opt/cfx/- | | Shared/pvm3.4.4_11-1/lib/pvmd" ep "" bx "" wd "" sp 1000 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:25:53 sa 144.16.75.826:32769 mt- | | u 4080 f 0x100 e 0 txq 1 | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:25:53 tx 2 rx 1 rtt 1.000000 id- | | "" | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:27:43 netinput() bogus pkt from 144.16.75.- | | 826:32769 | | [t80000000] 09/13 17:58:45 stderr@Bioinform: bash: line 1:- | | /lib/pvmd: No such file or directory | | [t80000000] 09/13 17:58:45 stdout@Bioinform: EOF | | [t80000000] 09/13 17:58:45 stderr@Bioinform: bash: line 1:- | | fg: no job control | | [t80000000] 09/13 17:58:45 stdout@Bioinform: EOF | | [t80040000] 09/13 17:58:45 startack() host Bioinform expec- | | ted version, got "PvmCantStart"

What does it relate to? and what is the solution.

you have to go to each host and kill each of the processes individually. for this type ps -eaf at teh cmd prompt and look at the redundant processes that are running. then use kill -9 followed by pid to kill the processes. once that is done type "rm /tmp/pvm*" to remove all pvm files from the tmp directory. this should solve your problem.

HI adrian, Thanks for your kind reply, but can you explain more about ps -eaf? What are the redundant processes it this context? and when this tmp/pvm file is created?

Thank you once again

With regards, Tuks
