I often want to run in a debugger with a command like<br>
<br>
mpiexec -n 2 xterm -e gdb -ex 'b file.c:123' -ex r --args ./ex12 -some_options<br>
<br>
which just seems painful any other way. But if you want to write that<br>
by remembering a collection of variables through which to pass each<br>
part, I won't stop you.<br>
