Dear Jim Thank you very much for your answer! The jobs use LAM/MPI for inter process communication. Therefore they will always be in a different process group than the job script (and even in different nodes). I never used the Mach API. So I would appreciate very much if you could tell me where to start: What documents can I read? Where is the documentation if this API? What function would I use to read the environment? Thanks again! Michael.

The environment variables are available in the address space of the
process, and you can use Mach APIs to read the address space of other
processes. But before describing how that could be done...
We are running a computation cluster with 20 Dual G4's. The job
scheduling
system sometimes leaves some processes on the node after it kills a
job.
Can the job system be modified to create all these processes in the
same process group? It sure would make "reaping" them much easier.
