[comp.sys.hp] cdb -P broken in HPUX 7.0

dave@dptechno.uucp (Dave Lee) (07/18/90)

I have a database server program that is impossible to run in exactly
the same state interactively as when called by the database front end.
Under HP-UX 6.5 I was able to use "cdb -P <pid>" to connect to the 
the program, and then debug it from a Xterm window.  However, under
7.0 I am unable to connect the the process, even when root.
I have tried the suggested trick of having the program loop with a
	while(1) ;
But I still cannot connect.  Anyone have similar experiences or any
suggestions?
Email or Post 
Thanks a bunch.

Make sure the program you are trying to attach to does not live on an
NFS mount.  I had problems with that one.
