[Mono-list] Command line debugging

[Ian Norton]

You can run a program that will listen for monodevelop on a TCP port before
it enters it's main method.

$ mono --debug --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=0.0.0.0:12345,server=y,suspend=y
myprogram.exe

That will sit listening on port 12345 for a debugger to attach.

On another host you then do this:

export MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST=1
monodevelop

And then load up your solution for the thing you want to debug, then use
the  "Custom Command Soft Debugger" under the run menu.
