I think you took the wrong place asking this on kernel oriented mailing list, however I'll try to share ideas: - every debugger will surely get detached from its debugee if the debugee exits. Thus all you need to do it reconnect gdb to the target PID. Perhaps a shell script can automate this for you.. - Hermant suggested strace...while I suggest you ltrace. Please read the manuals to know the difference and how to use it. - Another way to trace it is by doing static binary analysis. IMHO, as long as the symbol table is still complete (not stripped and just leaving dynamic symbol), you can manually check the call trace. Another alternative is by using elfsh together with modflow and graph the result with graphviz or any other similar graphing tool.
