I was able to use gdb to debug amsn (a wish script) by doing:
gdb --args /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/bin/amsn
Could gdb be modified to have the capability to do:
gdb /usr/bin/amsn
given that /usr/bin/amsn is a script that starts with:
#!/bin/bash
# \
exec wish $0
It's possible but unlikely. It's a fair amount of work and easy to do
by hand (you did it the right way).
The two parts are:
- Recognize #! files and parse their start lines to open the correct
executable file.
- Trace across execve since the executable is initially bash here.
Exec debugging will probably happen sometime in the next few years. I
don't know about #! support though.
Could a wrapper script for gdb accomplish this?

Arthur.
