Yes, the first argument after the executable should be the input file.

-np 4 is a mpirun option, and hence should be before the executable. See the mpirun documentation.

I have the same problem. Interestingly if you do <nwchem_executable_path> input.nw -np 4 > output.nw & , the program runs but uses only 1 processor. Does the program always expect the input file to be the second argument?
