Title: sudo before starting debugger
Post by: rbrettjuergens on May 16, 2011, 04:05:17 pm

I'm working on an application using libtrace.  The application needs to be run as root to access the network interface.  I've tried switching the environment variables to sudo /bin/sh -c and a few other arrangements with sudo in them.  The application works on the command line but I need to trace through the application to see why some variables are not producing what I'm expecting.

Is there a way to switch to root for debugging without starting Code::Block as root?

I just gave it a shot but no luck.
