the userspace-tools

We also have a bunch of command line tools that are providing easy administration to openMosix clusters. migrate [PID] [openMosix_ID] sends process $PID to openmosix node $openMosix_ID. mon is a ncurses-based terminal monitor several information about the current status are displayed in bar-charts.

The main openMosix configuration utility is mosctl, with this tool you can define weather processes should stay or leave the current node, you can set a new speed for a certain node, you can ask migrated processes to come home again and much other features that are documented in the howto.

mosrun can be used to run a special configured command on a chosen node

mosrun  [-h|openMosix_ID| list_of_openMosix_IDs] command [arguments]

The mosrun command can be executed with several more commandline options. To ease this up there are several preconfigured run-scripts for executing jobs with a special (openMosix) configuration.

Last but not least is the setpe tool. It is required for the configuration of a node. It is used to enable or disable openmosix on a node (setpe -f /etc/openmosix.map or setpe -off)

Additional to the /proc interface and the commandline-openMosix utilities (which are using the /proc interface) there is a patched "ps" and "top" available (they are called "mps" and "mtop") which displays also the openMosix-node ID on a column. This is useful for finding out where a specific process is currently being computed.

This actually summarized the command line tools, but have a look at openMosixview which is a GUI for the most common administration tasks.
