Re: Running NAMD on Linux Cluster

As the error message says, there does not appear to be a command called
"ibrun" on your cluster. This is not surprising, since the standard
command is mpiexec. You would only need to write a "mympiexec" script if
you needed to call a different program to launch parallel jobs. The
"ibrun" command is the job launch command at TACC used as an example.
