How to stop gdbserver while it's listening

How to stop gdbserver while it's listening

[robert song]

Hello,everyone.

During the gdbserver is listening on one TCP port, I can't stop by
directly press Ctrl-C.
But only open another windows and kill this one.

target> gdbserver :5555 /tmp/helloworld
target> kill -9 `pgrep gdbserver`

Is it the only way to stop the gdbserver?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
  robert

Hi Robert,

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only way of killing 
gdbserver when you are on the target board.  Sometimes you just can't open a 
new terminal, though.  In this case, you can also connect to gdbserver from 
another machine and issue a `monitor exit' command.

Hi, Sergio, thank you very much for your reply.

I can't find a 'monitor exit' command in my gdb 6.6.
But I found "detach" can do the work.

`detach'
     When you have finished debugging the remote program, you can use
     the `detach' command to release it from GDB control.  Detaching
     from the target normally resumes its execution, but the results
     will depend on your particular remote stub.  After the `detach'
     command, GDB is free to connect to another target.
