So I have a problem with some code I've been working on for the last few 
months. The code, which is compiled into two separate processes suddenly 
stops working. No error, nothing in dmesg, nothing in any file in /var/log 
period. It did however occur to me that since rsyslog is likely or possible 
disabled.

What my code does is read from the CAN peripheral. Form extended packets 
out of the CAN frames( NMEA 2000 fastpackets ), and then writes the data 
into a POSIX shared memory file ( /dev/shm/file ). The second process 
simply reads from the file, and shuffles the data out over a websocket in 
json / human readable form. The data on the webside of things is tested 
accurate, although I do occasionally get a malformed json object warning 
from firefox firebug.

The kernel I'm currently using is 4.2.0-rc4-bone2, which seems to have no 
noticeable problems.

Anyway, I'm relatively new to Linux development, and was wondering if 
anyone might be able to offer some advice as to how I can track this down. 
It did occur to me that I could attempt to trap process signals, and see if 
anything interesting comes of that. Short of this however, do I have any 
other options ?  Since my code runs for days before the processes stopping 
- I'm pretty sure the traditional gdb, strace / ltrace options would be 
ineffective. But maybe I'm wrong ?
