Satellite/Agent Service
I've been reading up on the Visual Analyzer part of the ea manual with a view to, at some point, move my development environment from Visual Studio to EA and I came across the Satellite Service. The first part of my career was spent as a developer (among other things) working on Unix systems. I also spent a number of years running Linux (specifically Linux Mint) as my main at home laptop OS. I have a lot of fondness for Unix systems. Anyway, when I came across the Satellite Service, it really piked my interest. You can read the details here , but below are some highlights. The services primarily support EA running on unix (on Wine or equivalent) to allow users to run native shell scripts & debug unix programs. Satellite service supports analyzer scripts. Agent service supports debugging. That is, it talks to GDB. You can start the services from within EA or separately from a unix terminal window. Services are available under VEA/x86/linux in the EA installation folder
