Debugging a Remote Process

Here I would like to share some information on how to debug a remote process running on a different machine.

For example take below scenario:

1. We don’t have VS.Net framework installed on a machine/vm, let’s say machine–1.

2. We have VS.Net installed on your production machine. Let us say machine- 2.

3. Able to access machine -1 from machine-2.

4. We have to attach and debug a remote ‘.exe’ process running on machine-1 then, copy “Debugger” folder [C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages ] from machine-2 to machine-1.

Open command prompt and go to ‘Debugger’ folder on machine-1 and run below command

msvcmon -tcpip -timeout -1 -anyuser


machine-1 will now be in listening mode for connections. Now, go to machine-2.

Launch VS.net and choose ‘Debug Process’ from ‘Tools’ menu.

Choose, ‘TCP/IP’ from ‘Transport’ drop down list.

And mention the ‘hostname’ or ‘IP Address’ of machine-1 in the ‘Name’ field.

Refresh the process list by selecting ‘show system process’, we can now start your remote debugging. We can also point the 'PDB' file location.

Thats all.....

Visit to Acharya Nagarjuna Baalura Aavasam..

Acharya Nagrajuna Baalura Aavasam, a place where 28 children are going through the moulding stages of their career and future. Let me give introduction to this balura aavasam. This place is located in marriguda mandal, Nalgonda district. It is approximately 60 km away from Hyderabad and takes around two hours journey on bus route. This balura aavasam is currently managed by “Grama Bharathi” committee of that mandal. It is spread over approximately 20 acres where 18 acres is under the development and cultivation of fruit trees and the remaining 2 acres have hostel building, play ground and kitchen. These 20 acres land was donated by a ‘Sarpanch’ of the mandal in mid 90’ for running development activities. Since that time a group of active people belonging to marriguda formed a committee and started contributing their best to serve the poor/needy in different ways. Nagarjuna balura aavasam was started by the same committee in 2007 with two children. Now the strength of the aavasam reache...

Let me start with defining Happiness...hmm ok no, first lets know the meaning of happiness by what others already defined it. A well known dictionary meant Happiness as a state of well-being and contentment a pleasurable or satisfying experience Mahatma said Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. fundoo definitions... aren't they? I have a question here, where does happiness come from? Not sure? I would say happiness come from the results of how we perceive things in our life? you want an example ? Take me as an example, I will feel happy when some one agrees with me else not :) Dont you agree if you get what you desired then you will be happy else you get distressed..

Initiative....what is your stand on it?

Starting an initiative is one side of the coin but how far we implement it, is the other side. Yeah, it is easy to start an initiative but it is hard to drive it. We start many initiatives but how many of those are currently under implementation. Common mistake we do for every initiative is starting it without a plan. Make a plan. Your plan should include what you are going to do. Calculate stipulated time required to implement it. Check if you have time to drive the new initiative along with your daily routines. Next, commit with the new initiative. I would stress more on the word ‘Commitment’ here. Commitment is the only thing that can drive initiatives. Commitment helps your initiatives adhere to time lines and will make you do what you planned. And yes, Initiatives are small things that can make big difference in achieving your goal. So, “Do what you Say and Say what you do!!”. Continue putting your efforts and taste the enjoyment of your success. Also, first be as...
