Mounting the /proc File System
To debug programs on SunOS 5 with TotalView, you need to mount the /proc file system.
If you receive one of the following errors from TotalView, the /proc file system might not be mounted:
• job_t::launch, creating process: process not found
• Error launching process while trying to read -dynamic symbols
• Creating Process... Process not found Clearing Thrown Flag Operation Attempted on an unbound process object
To determine whether the /proc file system is mounted, enter the appropriate command from the following table.
