And when you run at debug level -1, -2 or -3 the output should mention ghc-debug:
```cli
$ hledger CMD --debug=-1 # run normally, and listen for ghc-debug commands
$ hledger CMD --debug=-2 # pause for ghc-debug commands at program start
$ hledger CMD --debug=-3 # pause for ghc-debug commands at program end
$ hledger CMD --debug=-2 # pause for ghc-debug commands at program start (doesn't work)
$ hledger CMD --debug=-3 # pause for ghc-debug commands at program end (doesn't work)
Starting ghc-debug on socket: ...
```
Now in another window, you can run [ghc-debug-brick](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-debug-brick) and it will show the hledger process (until it ends). Press enter to connect. This is not robust. Tips:
Now in another window, you can run [ghc-debug-brick](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-debug-brick) and it will show the hledger process (until it ends). Press enter to connect. If it fails,
- you might need to clear out stale sockets: `rm -f ~/.local/share/ghc-debug/debuggee/sockets/*`
- you might need to kill stale hledger processes: `pkill -fl hledger`
- with --debug=-2 or -3 it might fail with this error, reasons unclear:\
`rts_resume: called from a different OS thread than rts_pause`.\
To work around, use --debug=-1.
(This works best with hledger-ui or hledger-web; with hledger, you'll need to give it a big enough data file so that you can connect and pause it before it finishes.)
- once connected, if the program is running, press `p` to pause it
- with --debug=-2 or -3 it fails with `rts_resume: called from a different OS thread than rts_pause`,
so use --debug=-1 instead. This works best with the long-running hledger-ui or hledger-web;
with hledger, you'll need a big enough data file so that you have time to connect before it finishes.
Once connected, press `p` to pause the program.
At this point, you can explore memory/profile information, save snapshots, resume execution, etc.
