Why not just Code: hl2Pid=`pgrep hl2.exe` gdb --pid $hl2Pid [insert other stuff here. Hehe. "here"] To pass the PID on? Also, I thought that the point of attaching a process to a debugger is to get a constant spewing of debuggery as the process runs, especially during extended user interaction. Here it looks like gdb pauses a process, dumps some stuff, and then you can resume the process, ending the debugger. So you only get snapshots instead of a live feed. Please tell me that there is a way to have such a live feed. Append "-c" with the other parameters? Also, how do you stop the debugger in terminal, if that's what terminal is currently running? Usually Ctrl+c ends a command/ program in terminal, and man pages are different in that they are ended in "q" rather than Ctrl+c, but I tried both of those, and they don't kill the debugger. I have to close terminal and open another one. Jake
