To set the error handler, do this after MPI_Init:
MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_ERRORS_RETURN);
This will set the error handler for MPI_COMM_WORLD and any communicators created from it. You can read more about error handling in Section 8.3 of the MPI-2.2 standard: http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/docs.html
Jayesh: Do you know how to disable the "auto-cleanup" feature in smpd?

> Darius Thanks for your help. I am using Windows platform and new to MPI. So I don't know how to pass the "-disable-auto-cleanup" to mpiexec. How can i do that? Can you explain it and send a simple sample code about setting MPI_ERRORS_RETURN?

You'll then need to set the default error handler in MPI to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN, so that the application won't abort when an error is detected.
