NAME
       pvm   PVM version 3 console

SYNOPSIS
       pvm [  options ] [ hostfile ]

DESCRIPTION
       Pvm  is  a  stand alone PVM task which allows the user to interactively
       query and modify the virtual machine.  The console can be  started  and
       stopped multiple times on any of the hosts in the virtual machine with 
       out affecting PVM or any applications that may be running.

       When started pvm determines if PVM is already running and if not  auto 
       matically  executes  pvmd3 on this host, passing pvmd3 the command line
       options and host file.  Thus PVM need not be running to start the  con 
       sole.  Once started the console prints the prompt:
            pvm>

           add  hostname(s)      Add hosts to virtual machine

       pvm  reads $HOME/.pvmrc before reading commands from the tty, so it can
       be used to customize the console environment, for example:
           alias ? help
           alias j jobs
           setenv PVM_EXPORT DISPLAY
