# orted(1)

Start an Open RTE User-Level Daemon

## NAME

orted - Start an Open RTE User-Level Daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**orted \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**orted** starts an Open RTE daemon for the Open MPI system.

## NOTE

The **orted** command is *not intended to be manually invoked by end users.* It is part of the Open MPI architecture and is invoked automatically as necessary.  This man page is mainly intended for those adventerous end users and system administrators who have noticed an "orted" process and wondered what it is.

As such, the command line options accepted by the **orted** are not listed below because they are considered internal and are therefore subject to change between versions without warning. Running **orted** with the *--help* command line option will show all available options.

## AUTHORS

The Open MPI maintainers -- see *http://www.openmpi.org/* or the file *AUTHORS*.

This manual page was originally contributed by Dirk Eddelbuettel \<edd@debian.org\>, one of the Debian GNU/Linux maintainers for Open MPI, and may be used by others.
