%t1 %I %K
where the options unique to this command are:
%B The bin directory where tvdsvr resides.
%K The number of servers that TotalView launches.
–verbosity %V Sets the verbosity level of the tvdsvr. %V expands to
the current verbosity setting. For information on verbosity,
see the “Variables” chapter within the TotalView

%F
Contains the “tracer configuration flags” that need to
be sent to tvdsvr processes. These are system-specific
startup options that the tvdsvr process needs.
%H Expands to the host name of the machine upon which
TotalView is running.
%t1 A temporary file created by TotalView that contains a
list of the hosts on which tvdsvr runs. This is the information
you enter in the Temp File 1 Prototype field on
the Bulk Launch Page.
%I Expands to the pid of the MPI starter process. For example,
it can contain mpirun, aprun, etc. It can also be
the process to which you manually attach. If no pid is
available, %I expands to 0.
