Figure 4-1 shows the various components involved when you debug processes and
save files in the Guardian environment.
The Inspect process retrieves symbol information from the program files of the
processes and save files, and retrieves source code from the source files. DMON
provides the Inspect execution control services for process debugging.
These control services include:

Setting and clearing breakpoints (non save files)

Providing execution status information

Retrieving machine code and data values for display

Modifying data values

Note. To debug processes, $IMON must be running on the system hosting the Inspect
command terminal, that is the system that you want to debug the process on and DMON must
be running on the same CPU. If $IMON is not on the system hosting the command terminal
and $DMnn is not on the same processor, you will invoke Debug, to examine save files,
however, neither $IMON nor $DMnn is required. $IMON is usually started at the same time as
the operating system. If no $IMON is running on your system, contact your system manager.
