Bashscripts.org

I am a scripting newbie. I have created a script to gether crash information for one of our programs. I would like to also gather the trace for the core within the bash script.
What I have done so far is this:

PATH=/program/src/Debug/Source
CORE=core.2492

gdb $PATH/MyProgram $CORE
bt >> /tmp/trace.output

What happens is that this launches gdb and passes in the core file properly, but when it gets to the gdb prompt, it will not pass in the 'bt' command.

How would I pass the bt command into gdb and capture the output into the trace.output file?

Thank you.

I have never used gdb but I checked the man page and it seems to indicate that commands to gdb can be specified in a file that is pointed to via the -x option.

That worked great. Thank you. I missed the -x in man pages.
