#DEBUGPROCESS Built-In Function

Use #DEBUGPROCESS to invoke the default debugger, DEBUG or INSPECT, for a

specified process. #DEBUGPROCESS invokes the DEBUGPROCESS operating

system procedure.

NOW

specifies that debugging is to begin immediately. This option is available to super-

group users only.

\node-name

is the system where the process resides.

$process-name

is the name of the process or process pair.

cpu,pin

is the CPU number and process number of the process.

TERM [ \node-name.]$terminal-name

is the terminal where interactive debugging is to take place. It also becomes the

home terminal of the specified process. If \node-name is the current default

system, you can omit it. If you omit this option, DEBUG or INSPECT uses the

existing home terminal of the specified process.

Result

#DEBUGPROCESS returns zero if it is successful; otherwise, it returns the error code

returned by the call to the DEBUGPROCESS procedure.

Considerations

•

If you are not a super-group member or a group manager, you can debug only

those processes whose process accessor ID matches your user ID; you must have

read access to the program file.

•

If you are a group manager, you can debug any process whose process accessor

ID matches any user ID in your group; you must have read access to the program

file.
