I started looking at the above, and found that orte-ps is just plain wrong in 
the way it handles jobid. The jobid consists of two fields: a 16-bit number 
indicating the mpirun, and a 16-bit number indicating the job within that 
mpirun. Unfortunately, orte-ps sends a data request to every mpirun out there 
instead of only to the one corresponding to that jobid.

What we probably should do is have you indicate the mpirun of interest via the 
-pid option, and then let jobid tell us which job you want within that mpirun. 
A jobid of 1 indicates the primary application, 2 and above would specify 
comm_spawned jobs. A jobid of -1 would return the status of all jobs under that 
mpirun.

If multiple mpiruns are being reported, then the "jobid" in the report should 
again be the "local" jobid within that mpirun.

After all, you don't really care what the orte-internal 16-bit identifier is 
for that mpirun.

Shouldn't be too hard to do - bunch of if-then-else statements required, though.

Appreciate the offer - let me see how hard this proves to be...
