I am aware of a debugging tool like "gdb" on HPUX to debug applications such as Apache, WebLogic etc.
What are the other available similar tools on HPUX ?
Thanks,
Shiv
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: gdb and other tools ?
if an application is hanging, I have seen some customers TOC the box and use q4 to see what is going on (more for device drivers) and such.

The binary adb is the built-in HP-UX debugger.

Re: gdb and other tools ?
Tusc traces the system calls a process invokes and the signals it
receives. It displays arguments in a symbolic way, shows the first
bytes of read and write buffers as well as signal information when
available. Tusc can attach to live processes by providing PIDs
(process IDs) as argument(s).

Re: gdb and other tools ?
You have to understand the language of the system in every case.
For your own programs the best may be gdb, for scripts perhaps just set +x and many applications brings their own debugging tools.
It really depends on what kind of problem you want to debug.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

SolutionPrefer to use HP's WDB which is based on GDB and ported to HP-UX, fully supported by HP.
You can download it for free from,
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,1662,00.html
Other debugging tools are,
"tusc", sometimes adb.

Re: gdb and other tools ?
Once you download wdb, you can install it using "swinstall".
# swinstall -s
Second question,
"q4" is used to analyse live kernel, You can find docs at /usr/contrib/doc/Q4Docs.tar.Z.
