Thanks for your hints,
but I am using a GUI front-end (Elicpse) for GDB, so I can't process
GDB's input and ouput.
That's why I was trying to do it from a GDB script...


By the way, in a "debugguee" program, is there any way to know if the
program is currently running "in" GDB or if it is freely running
(without debuuger connected) ??


Thanks again,
David
