Have you looked at "mpirun -h"? There are several options available for redirecting output, including redirecting it to files by rank so it is separated by application process.

In general, mpirun will send the output to stdout or stderr, based on what your process does. The provided options just let you tag it, or separate it by rank for convenience.

Does    Pcrystal |tee ./outputfile.txt    work?

Hello!

Did you try to redirect also the error output? Maybe your application write its output on stderr.
