 Fortran  | 
 call pvmfmstat( host, mstat )  | 
| 
 host  |

 mstat  | 
 Integer returning machine status:  | 
value MEANING
| 
 PvmOk  | 
 host is OK  | |
| 
 PvmNoHost  | 
 host is not in virtual machine  | |
| 
 PvmHostFail  | 
 host is unreachable (and thus possibly failed)  | 
The routine pvm_mstat returns the status mstat of the computer named host with respect to running PVM processes. This routine can be used to determine if a particular host has failed and if the virtual machine needs to be reconfigured. The function pvm_notify() can also be used to notify the caller that a host has failed.
C:
| 
 mstat = pvm_mstat( "msr.ornl.gov" );  | 
Fortran:
| 
 CALL PVMFMSTAT( ’msr.ornl.gov’, MSTAT )  | 
These error
conditions can be returned by pvm_mstat 
PvmSysErr
pvmd not responding.
PvmNoHost
giving a host name not in the virtual machine.
PvmHostFail
host is unreachable (and thus possibly failed).
