Hi, dashboard is not a system command, it's a GDB command, meaning that you have to run it inside a GDB session, what you want is:

  1. in terminal A run the tty command and note the path, say /dev/ttys001;

  2. in terminal B run:

    $ gdb /some/executable
>>> dashboard -output /dev/ttys001
>>> start

  3. now the dashboard will be displayed in terminal A and the prompt will be in terminal B.

Good luck!

help me to use the expressions and live watch of variable

cyrus-and commented 5 years ago

You can use the help command for about everything, in this case:

help dashboard expressions

So for example:

dashboard expressions watch foo()+5

I'm sorry, that's simply not possible with GDB (and any other debugger AFAIK).

sureshs2k12 commented 5 years ago

it's ok.... and thanks

how can i use non-stop mode? what is command to use non-stop mode?

cyrus-and commented 5 years ago

This has nothing to do with the dashboard, please refer to the GDB manual.
