Yeah, that probably won't work. The current code isn't intended to cross jobs like that - I'm sure nobody ever tested it for that idea, and I'm pretty sure it won't support it.

I don't currently know any way to do what you are trying to do. We could extend the signal code to handle it, I would think...but I'm not sure how soon that might happen.

Yes... but something wrong is going on... maybe the problem is that the jobid is different than the process' jobid, I don't know.

I'm trying to send a signal to other process running under a another job. The other process jump into an accept_connect to the MPI comm. So i did a code like this (I removed verification code and comments, this is just a summary for a happy execution):

ompi_dpm.parse_port(port, &hnp_uri, &rml_uri, &el_tag);
orte_rml_base_parse_uris(rml_uri, &el_proc, NULL);
ompi_dpm.route_to_port(hnp_uri, &el_proc);
orte_plm.signal_job(el_proc.jobid, SIGUSR1);
ompi_dpm.connect_accept(MPI_COMM_SELF, 0, port, true, el_comm);

el_proc is defined as orte_process_name_t, not a pointer to this. And signal.h has been included for SIGUSR1's sake. But when the code enter in signal_job function it crashes. I'm trying to debug it just now... the crash is the following:

With exception to the signal_job the code works, I have tested it forcing an accept on the other process, and avoiding the signal_job. But I want to send the signal to wake-up the other side and to be able to manage multiple connect/accept.

Thanks,
Leonardo

Sure! So long as you add the include, you are okay as the ORTE layer is "below" the OMPI one.

Thanks Ralph, the last question... it orte_plm.signal_job exposed/available to be called by a PML component? Yes, I have the orte/mca/plm/plm.h include line.

It's just the orte_process_name_t jobid field. So if you have an orte_process_name_t *pname, then it would just be

orte_plm.signal_job(pname->jobid, sig)

Hum.... and to signal a job probably the function is orte_plm.signal_job(jobid, signal); right?

Now my dummy question is how to obtain the jobid part from an orte_proc_name_t variable? Is there any magical function in the names_fns.h?

Thanks,
Leonardo

Afraid not - you can signal a job, but not a specific process. We used to have such an API, but nobody ever used it. Easy to restore if someone has a need.

Hi,

Is there any function in Open MPI's frameworks to send a signal to other ORTE proc?

For example, the ORTE process [[1234,1],1] want to  send a signal to process [[1234,1,4] locate in other node. I'm looking for this kind of functions but I just found functions to send signal to all procs in a node.

Thanks,
Leonardo
