If you exec after the fork you could do it with: gdb --exec=program1 --symbols=program2 if program1 exec program2. if you only fork you can use the set follow_fork_mode setting to follow the child. Hmm no that I check it, it does not seem to work though.... I am using a 4.1 stablish system though. Perhaps it does work on later systems. -Guido -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
