NAME

App::RunForPid - Given a X Window, attach a process for debug (gdb, tail, etc)

SYNOPSIS

run-for-pid -h
Usage:
  ./bin/run-for-pid -- Find a pid for a window
  ./bin/run-for-pid <pid> -- Execute a command for a child process of $pid

DESCRIPTION

App::RunForPid is a program to attach different tools to a given running process.

The idea is to quickly attach or get information about that process only from the window that's running it. There's a fallback for background process with the pid parameter.

DEPENDENCIES

xprop — to get properties for a X Window
pstree

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES

gdb — Attach a gdb to a given process
strace — Read stdout and stderr of a given process
