Yes. Run the program in an xterm window and the debugger will pop up a separate xterm for each child. You must have the TERM environment variable set to 'xterm' and DISPLAY set also. Each child xterm window will be running its own instance of the debugger. >I have a >script that forks a copy of itself to act as a daemon.
