  • Segmented debugger
    Patent number: 4589068
    Abstract: A debugger for debugging, from a central location (e.g., a user terminal 13), jobs or processes running on one or more remote units (11) connected to the user terminal (13) via a communication network (15). The user terminal (13) includes a debugger (21) that receives and interprets debug commands produced by a keyboard and display console (19). The debug commands fall in any one of three categories--debug commands directed to the user terminal (USER TERMINAL CONTROL commands); debug commands directed to a particular remote unit (REMOTE UNIT CONTROL commands); and, debug commands directed to a specific job or process of multiple jobs or processes running on a particular remote unit (LOCAL JOB/PROCESS commands). The USER TERMINAL CONTROL commands are executed at the user terminal (13). The REMOTE UNIT CONTROL commands and LOCAL JOB/PROCESS commands are transmitted to the remote units (11) via the communication network (15).
