[mvapich-discuss] mpirun won't pass environment variables?

[Pavan Balaji]

Jonathan,

Is mpirun from Hydra? If yes, the first case given by James should work:

% export FOO=1
% mpiexec -np 1 env | grep FOO
FOO=1

The following methods work too:

% FOO=1 mpiexec -np 1 env | grep FOO
FOO=1

% mpiexec -env FOO=1 -np 1 env | grep FOO
FOO=1

% mpiexec -genv FOO=1 -np 1 env | grep FOO
FOO=1
