We change the group of spawned processes rather than inner padb processes.

(1) in get_remote_env() using following code to obtain $pbs_gid, and 
open 'environ' file:

my $project = `stat /proc/$pid|grep Gid|cut -d' ' -f 18|cut -d')' -f 1`;
$pbs_gid = substr($project, 0, 3);

my @env_tmp = `newgrp $pbs_gid cat /proc/$pid/environ`;

(2) In gdb_start(), change the original line 'my $cmd = "gdb 
--interpreter=mi -q";'   to
'$cmd = "newgrp $pbs_gid gdb --interpreter=mi -q";'

Hope this helps, and please let us know if you need more information.

Kind Regards,
Jie
