Launching Rockhopper from terminal.


To Launch Rockhopper from a terminal, you can use rockhopper-dbg.run script. This script invokes Rockhopper(/usr/sbin/rockhopperd) from the terminal and enables core dump. In this case, Rockhopper is not daemonized.

  1. % sudo su (Ubuntu)

  2. % /etc/init.d/rockhopper stop (Ubuntu)

  3. % cd <install_dir>/rockhopper-<version>/debug_tools
  4. Confirm that all Rockhopper's processes are already killed.
    (pgrep -f rockhopper -l)

    Run it like this:
    % ./rockhopper-dbg.run term

    A core dump file is generated in the current directory (<install_dir>/rockhopper-<version>/debug_tools).

  5. Invoke gdb to debug the core file like this:
    % ./rockhopper-dbg.run core


If you want to build Rockhopper with no optimization (gcc -O0), please install like this:

   % cd rockhopper-<version> (installed-dir)
   % sudo ./debug_tools/install_dbg_no_optmz.sh

In addition, if you want to enable most debug flags (gcc -DRHP_XXX), please install like this:

   % cd rockhopper-<version> (installed-dir)
   % sudo ./debug_tools/install_dbg_all.sh
