The polite way to use gdb on Nagios.

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,


<Off topic>

Please would some helpful person share some clues about the use of gdb 
with Nagios ?

I would like to examine code in base/checks.c that is run by child 
processes.

Even with 'follow-fork-mode' set (to either child or parent), the only 
code that gdb wants to know about is that run by the parent.

Set the pid to 0 ?

The gdb tutorials I have found don't seem helpful.

Are the debugging #ifdefs/configure --DEBUGn the only way ?

</Off topic>

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
