how to run sim with MPI from console?

[alanxptm]

So I've finally got Omnet compiled and running with OpenMPI on Linux, issue is when I try to run my simulation I get this error with each -p that I've set:

<!> Error: cFileCommunications: Invalid -p<procId> switch on the command line: "-p3,5"

In the project folder I'm trying to run it like this from console (as directly from the IDE throws another -p error):

./mca20 -p1,5 & ./mca20 -p2,5 &./mca20 -p3,5 & ./mca20 -p4,5 & ./mca20 -p5,5

My omnet.ini has this:

parallel-simulation = true
parsim-num-partitions = 5
*.extG**.partition-id=0
*.intG[0]**.partition-id=1
*.intG[1]**.partition-id=2
*.intG[2]**.partition-id=3
*.intG[3]**.partition-id=4

Can somebody help me?

[alanxptm]

I'm trying to run the simulation with this:

opp_runall -j5 ./mca20 -u Cmdenv --cmdenv-express-mode=true --scalar-recording=true

But I get this error:

./mca20 -u Cmdenv --cmdenv-express-mode=true --scalar-recording=true -s --cmdenv-redirect-output=true -r 0
cMPICommunications: started as process 0 out of 1.
MPI thinks this process is the only one in the session (did you use mpirun to start this program?)

<!> Error: cMPICommunications: The number of partitions configured (5) differs from the number of instances started by MPI (1)

[alanxptm]

So it seems like I got it working with this:

mpirun ./mca20_proyecto_new -u Cmdenv --cmdenv-express-mode=true --sim-time-limit=900s --scalar-recording=true

But it ends instantly and even if some display to have created messages, all scalar results are 0 for each process. This is what I get in the terminal:

I've attached my model.ned and omnet.ini if you could give it a look. When I run the simulation from the IDE all works normally but its really slow.
