Detaching from Processes
You can either detach from a group of processes or detach from one process.
Use the Group > Detach command to remove attached processes within a control group. As TotalView executes this command, it eliminates all of the state information related to these processes. If TotalView didn’t start a process, it continues executing in its normal run-time environment.
To detach from processes that TotalView did not create:
1 (Optional) After opening a Process Window on the process, select the Thread > Continuation Signal command to display the following dialog box.
 
The examples at the end of TV::thread discussion show setting a signal.
Choose the signal that TotalView sends to the process when it detaches from the process. For example, to detach from a process and leave it stopped, set the continuation signal to SIGSTOP.
2 Select OK.
3 Select the Process > Detach command.
CLI: ddetach
When you detach from a process, TotalView removes all breakpoints that you have set in it.
