The kill Command

You can kill the current process:

kill_command

        : kill

Killing a process leaves the debugger running. Any breakpoints previously set are retained. You can execute the program again later using the rerun (dbx) or the run (gdb) commands without loading it again. For example:

DBX Mode

(idb) show process

Current Process: localhost:19307 (/home/user/examples/x_list) paused.

(idb) kill

Process has exited

(idb) rerun

    182     List<Node> nodeList;

GDB Mode

(idb) info program
