Using duntil

The duntil command differs from other step commands when you apply it to a process group. (The duntil command tells TotalView to execute program statements until a selected statement is reached.) When applied to a process group, it identifies all processes in the group already having a thread stopped at the goal. These are the matching processes. It then runs only the nonmatching processes. Whenever a thread arrives at the goal, TotalView stops its process. The command finishes when all members of the group are stopped. This lets you sync up all the processes in a group in preparation for group-stepping them.

In all cases, if a process does not exist before a command executes, TotalView creates it before executing the command.
