pkg_add -r gdb - Shutdown the urbackup server:
killall urbackup_srv - Install tmux:
pkg_add -r tmux - Run tmux:
tmux - Start the UrBackup server in gdb:
start_urbackup_server --loglevel debug --run_in_gdb - Start the program in gdb:
run - Once it crashed enter the shell of the plugin jail again and attach to the tmux session:
tmux attach - Enter "bt" to get the backtrace to the location it crashed:
