pvm_pstat(3pvm) [redhat man page]

PSTAT(3PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4						       PSTAT(3PVM)

NAME

       pvm_pstat - Returns the status of the specified PVM process.

SYNOPSIS

       C    int status = pvm_pstat( tid )

       Fortran	 call pvmfpstat( tid, status )

PARAMETERS

       tid     Integer task identifier of the PVM process in question.

       status  Integer	returns  the  status  of the PVM process identified by tid.  Status is PvmOk if the task is running, PvmNoTask if not, and
	       PvmBadParam if the tid is bad.

DESCRIPTION

       The routine pvm_pstat returns the status of the process identified by tid.  Also note that pvm_notify() can be used to  notify  the  caller
       that a task has failed.

EXAMPLES

       C:
	    tid = pvm_parent();
	    status = pvm_pstat( tid );

       Fortran:
	    CALL PVMFPARENT( TID )
	    CALL PVMFPSTAT( TID, STATUS )

ERRORS

       The following error conditions can be returned by pvm_pstat.

       PvmBadParam
	      Bad Parameter, most likely an invalid tid value.

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.

       PvmNoTask
	      Task not running.

KILL(3PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4							KILL(3PVM)

NAME

       pvm_kill - Terminates a specified PVM process.

SYNOPSIS

       C    int info = pvm_kill( int tid )

       Fortran	 call pvmfkill( tid, info )

PARAMETERS

       tid     Integer task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not yourself).

       info    Integer status code returned by the routine.  Values less than zero indicate an error.

DESCRIPTION

       The routine pvm_kill sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM process identified by tid.  In the case of multiprocessors the terminate
       signal is replaced with a host dependent method for killing a process.  If pvm_kill is successful, info will be 0.  If  some  error  occurs
       then info will be < 0.

       pvm_kill  is not designed to kill the calling process.  To kill yourself in C call pvm_exit() followed by exit().  To kill yourself in For-
       tran call pvmfexit followed by stop.

EXAMPLES

       C:
	    info = pvm_kill( tid );

       Fortran:
	    CALL PVMFKILL( TID, INFO )

ERRORS

       These error conditions can be returned by pvm_kill

       PvmBadParam
	      giving an invalid tid value.

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.
