Thanks for the quick reply.Do you meant remote debugging??if we ssh to a remote machine with command as 'gdb',how will i invoke a process in my target machine. iam not sure about that yar.I searched in net and tried below steps in my environment.But i couldnt connect.Below are the steps i did

Suppose A is machine which has VM ware OS insatlled with ip address (x.y.z.w) and B a linux machine with ip (b.c.d.e )having gdb installed in it.Commands i ran in both machines A & B.i am not sure what that means exactly.

A
----
1.gdb server b.c.d.e:15000 MegaCli /*MegaCli is the name of binary */


B
---

target remote x.y.z.w:15000

Result was connection timed out.As B couldnt connect to A.

If you have not meant this,could you pls tell me in a bit detail. What steps should i follow to debug?
In short my question is "How to debug a process in Vmware machine using a gdb program installed in Linux machine"
