Bashdb - new user basic questions
This may be too silly and definitely way to early to ask .

I'll admit have read about 5% of documentation so far , but



can you make bashdb to step thru the file "automatically" by setting some kind of timeout?


and second



how do you stop the process ?

Is "quit" the only option ?




Code:
pi@pi:/usr/bin $ bash --debugger raspi-config-DEBUG.sh
bash debugger, bashdb, release 4.3-0.91

Reading /usr/bin/raspi-config-DEBUG.sh (/usr/bin/raspi-config-DEBUG.sh:32):

bashdb<0>
 

what is this output telling me ?


bashdb<1> 
bashdb<2>

It is a prompt asking you to provide keyboard input. If you hit the return key it goes to the next line. Try typing the word help at the prompt.

You really need to read more so you know about those interactive commands. Many commands can be a single letter abbreviation

Edit Oh. Forgot to answer part of the question.
step, break, q[uit], p[rint]
Code:
# execute one line and stop
step  1
# execute n lines and the stop
step n  
#print the variable
p variable
# run the program until line 77
break 77
# break on a bash function named foo
break foo
# quit
q
