[mpich-devel] about MPI hydra process management

[unix haha]

Thanks, Balaji.

I took a quick look on persist bootstrap. It seems what I want and I will
try it.

one thing puzzles me is what's "persist" means here for hydra. what's means
for hydra_bss_persist in Makefile.mk under hydra/tools/bootstrap/? the bss
is the .bss section in executable file?

Thanks!
