After scripting "crash" for some time, I must say there are little quirks with it. Apologies in advance if this is expected behaviour, but it has been very confusing and unintuitive for newcomer: * crash sleeps after reading everything from input pipe you forgot final 'q' -- you kill crash in S-state. * "crash -i" sends some terminal garbage before everything. I thought it is some kind of uninitialized memory bug. It is surely documented that "crash -i" is not what one might expect -- legal way to send scripted commands and just that, * filtering gdb banners is annoying, not hard but annoying, * commands are chatty: say, "ptov" shoud just print virtual address, headers don't go away in "scripted" mode Alexey -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
