Now under > Can PowerShell give us backtraces of a running httpd? Flowering Weeds replied Windows PowerShell is a .NET admin's automation tool Automate what ever one does more than once! Combine PowerShell with dump process programs, or .NET tracking class information, then perhaps data parse, perhaps by Log Parser, and then bingo! All within .NET PowerShell. And now examples that Apache users can follow: PowerDbg - Automated Debugging using WinDbg and PowerShell - Home http://www.codeplex.com/powerdbg For some examples concerning debugging read the below blog (PowerShell starts near) Debugging Toolbox : [PowerShell Script] PowerDbg – Using PowerShell to Control WinDbg http://blogs.msdn.com/debuggingtoolbox/archive/2007/09/05/powershell-script-powerdbg-using-powershell-to-control-windbg.aspx Once again thanks to all for helping to explain how to use PowerShell for debugging any process - even Apache based processes!
