Changing the Arguments

You can also change the command-line arguments passed to rsh (or whatever command you use to invoke the remote process).

For example, if the host machine does not mount the same file systems as your target machine, the debugger server may need to use a different path to access the executable being debugged. If this is the case, you could change %D to the directory used on the target machine.

If the remote executable reads from standard input, you cannot use the -n option with your remote shell command because this option causes the remote executable to receive an EOF immediately on standard input. If you omit -n, the remote executable reads standard input from the xterm in which you started TotalView. This means that you should invoke tvdsvr from another xterm window if your remote program reads from standard input. Here's an example:

%C %R "-working_directory %D -display hostname:0 -e tvdsvr \
        -callback %L -set_pw %P -verbosity %V"

Now, each time TotalView launches tvdsvr, a new xterm appears on your screen to handle standard input and output for the remote program.
