Hi,

The first problem got resolved, initially the env variables was not
set. After going throu' the doc I found the info( The document is
realluy useful!!!!!! thanks for it).

I need to try the second problem...like to know the usage of mpatrol
on dedicated process. The program contains more than 25 source files
(.cc) apart from from include files. I need some informatin on using
the "mpatrol.h" in this program.

Is it enough to include the "mpatrol.h" in the main function file...or
do I need to use in all source files?

How do I test the executable which runs continously on main thread
without exiting???

Your information on this queries shall real helpful in using the
mpatrol tool.

I'm using Sun Solaris 8 SPARC4u....

I don't have any compilation/linking issues so far .

Thanks in advance

Sivakumar
