Hi,
 
>> In fact, the worker should print something to show ...

 In the output below I can see the message from worker for both cases 2 & 3 . Can you explain in detail the issue that you see with your setup ?
 You might also want to run "mpiexec -machinefile mf.txt -n 2 hostname" to see the hosts where the processes get launched.

Regards,
Jayesh

   In fact, the worker should print something to show the message received
by it (as in the program code)
