Thanks for the report.  It does appear that the link is dead and my
quick searching did not reveal the new location of the documentation.

While the mpiexec available from OSC provided tight integration it is
still possible for both mpirun_rsh and hydra (installed as mpiexec and
mpiexec.hydra) to be used with PBS.

In the past you'd have to specify the hostfile in your submit script by
pointing it to $PBS_NODEFILE but you should be able to omit this now as
they should automatically find this in the environment.

Please let us know if this works for you.
