I want to capture process call stack.

# ps -e | grep lm
1254116 ?? R 4:14.74 ora_lmon_au3test2

and


# dbx -pid 1254116
dbx version 5.1
Type 'help' for help.

dbx: fatal error: can't open a.out

Use:
# dbx -pid 1254116

ex:
# dbx -pid 1254116 /usr/tmp/ora_lmon_au3test2

[楊景隆_1]

# dbx -pid 1254116 /usr/tmp/ora_lmon_au3test2
dbx version 5.1
Type 'help' for help.

dbx: fatal error: can't open /usr/tmp/ora_lmon_au3test2
# pwd
/var/cluster/members/member2/tmp
# dbx -pid 1254116 test.txt
dbx version 5.1
Type 'help' for help.

dbx: fatal error: can't open test.txt
# touch test.txt
# dbx -pid 1254116 test.txt
dbx version 5.1
Type 'help' for help.

dbx: fatal error: can't open test.txt

Hi,

I doubt, the executable of ora_lmon_au3test2 is in /usr/tmp.
BL said, you have to specify the complete path to ora_lmon_au3test2. /usr/tmp was only meant as an example.

greetings,

Hi,

what processes do you want to debug?

hi.

I want to debug the lock monitor ,
lmd , lms process !
Because we have Oracle RAC issue!

# ps -ef | grep lm
oracle 527005 524289 0.2 Jul 24 ?? 37:41.99 ora_lmon_au3prod1
oracle 527007 524289 0.0 Jul 24 ?? 06:50:51 ora_lmd0_au3prod1
oracle 527009 524289 1.1 Jul 24 ?? 09:35:42 ora_lms0_au3prod1
oracle 527011 524289 0.7 Jul 24 ?? 04:53:16 ora_lms1_au3prod1

Thanks Mashburn

Mashburn,

try the following:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
/usr/sbin/fuser oracle

compare the pids with the processes you want to debug. I think they use oracle.
Do you have access to metalink?

UPDATE
=======

Do the following

dbx -pid ${PID_LMS} [Path of Oracle.exe]
Will cross check the same with BDE.
