If

nodes

is empty, the node range preselected via the range command is used. The default preselected

node range contains all nodes of the ParaStation cluster.

The

from

and

to

parts of each range are node IDs. They might be given in decimal or hexadecimal notation

and must be in the range between

0

and

NumberOfNodes-1

.

As an extension

nodes

might also be a hostname that can be resolved into a valid ParaStation ID.

Using hostnames containing "-" might confuse this algorithm and is therefore not
recommended.

Exit the interactive mode of psiadmin. Same as quit.

Report various states of the selected node(s) or job(s). Depending on the given argument, different
information can be requested from the ParaStation system. If no argument is given, the

node

information is retrieved.

all

Show the information given by node, count and proc on the selected node(s).

allproc [cnt

count

]

Show all processes managed by the ParaStation system on the selected node(s).

All processes - including forwarder and other special processes - managed by ParaStation are
displayed. If forwarder processes should not be displayed, use the list

proc

directive.

Up to

count

processes per node are displayed. If more processes are controlled by ParaStation

on this node, a short remark will tell the number of not displayed processes. The default is to show
10 processes.

The output fields of the process list are described within the list

proc

directive. In addition to the

process classes described there, ParaStation Forwarder processes, i.e. processes spawned by
the ParaStation daemon psid(8) in order to control a spawned process, are marked by “(F)” after
the user ID. Further helper processes needed in order to spawn non ParaStation applications are
marked with “(S)”.
