It does not write once. It writes continously without break the
same 5 lines into hist5 file over and over and generates considerable load at your machine. Since every session has its own history this makes no sense to do.
I'm unsure, but I assume .bash_history file is written at logout. If you want to see another sessions history with this, this will not work.

orte-iof
OMPI-IOF(1) Open MPI OMPI-IOF(1)
NAME
ompi-iof, orte-iof - Displays a copy of the output streams from a process.
NOTE: ompi-iof, and orte-iof are exact synonyms for each other. Using any of the names will result in exactly identical behavior.
SYNOPSIS
ompi-iof [ options ]
Options
ompi-iof will display a copy of the indicated stdout, stderr, and/or stddiag streams from the designated process.
-pid | --pid
The pid of the mpirun executing the process whose streams are to be copied
-stdout | --stdout
Display a copy of the specified process' stdout. If no options are specified, this will act as the default
-stderr | --stderr
Display a copy of the specified process' stderr.
-stddiag | --stddiag
Display a copy of the specified process' stddiag.
-rank | --rank
The rank of the process whose output is to be copied.
DESCRIPTION
ompi-iof displays a copy of the indicated stdout, stderr, and/or stddiag streams from the designated process. At this time, a ctrl-C must
be used to terminate the program. The program will terminate cleanly, telling the associated mpirun to close the requested streams before
exiting.
