Opera

Inspector IIXII (inspectr) is a small program written by Axel Siebert to log crash data for programs. It is available for Windows, Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86.

Here is how to use Inspector with Opera for Linux or FreeBSD:

1. Download Inspector for Linux or FreeBSD. 64-bit versions for Linux and FreeBSD are also available.
2. Assuming that you have saved the file with name "inspectr", make the file executable with the command chmod +x inspectr
3. Make sure that Opera is running, and attach Inspector to the Opera binary via the command: ./inspectr <PROCESS_ID>

where <PROCESS_ID> is the process ID of the Opera binary. To identify the Opera binary and its process ID, execute the command: ps aux | grep opera and look for a line of the form

/usr/lib/opera/<OPERA_VERSION>/opera

where <OPERA_VERSION> is a variable depending on your version of Opera, for example 9.20-20070409.6. The process ID is the number in the second column of this line, after the user name.

If you use a tarball version of Opera, the output of ps aux | grep opera should include a line of the form:

./bin/opera

Note: the binary ./bin/opera inside the tarball should not be confused with /usr/bin/opera, which is not a binary, but a shell script.

If Opera crashes, Inspector will write a log file to the same directory where Inspector resides. To learn about filing crash bug reports, please read How to report crashes in Opera.
