How can I debug remotely

I'm programming something and I need debugging support on most operating systems (linux, windows, macosx).

This is what the program is supposed to do: - fork a new program (platform specific program - like adobe reader on windows, but evince on linux) - monitor for exceptions (handled and unhandled) - execute a predefined function based on the exception

So basically I need some kind of a debugger, a library which I can use to make this possible. I would then start a debugger, start a program, and monitor for the exceptions.

It would also be great if I could execute & monitor for the exceptions over the network. So let's say my program is running on computer A and is connected to computer B (via ssh, RDP, whatever) and I would start a new program in computer B from computer A, and also monitor and react based on the exceptions from the computer B.

So my question is: is anything like that already written in form of a perl/python/whatever library or something similar. If it is, I would very much like to know about开发者_如何学Go it.

Just to make this more clear: the linux only library call for this (just not supporing the network part) is ptrace system call.

gdb
There is a built in python debugger.pdb
