[ltt-dev] ltt-dev Digest, Vol 12, Issue 17

[casmyu@gmail.com (Shouwei Li)]

Yes. cpptest is a C++ program.
Now I reopen two shell terminal. One is running lttv-gui, and the other run
the cpptest. But from filter I can not get this program, I both search the
program name or the PID, the screen capture is in the attachment.
Could you capture a program and send me a screen capture? Now I do not know
what to do.
This tool is so power, but I did not know how to use. My GOD!

The first shell terminal:
[root][~]# lttv-gui
** Message: statistics viewer : background computation data ready.
** Message: statistics viewer : background computation data ready.
Executing (as root) : exec /usr/local/bin/ltt-armall

the other shell terminal:
[root][~]# ps

 4804 pts/1    00:00:00 cpptest
