Looking at its history ( http://stackoverflow.com/posts/3326955/revisions ) one can see all of the closes and reopens. This question has not been closed. And it might have been a better question to ask on SuperUser (or now Unix and Linux) instead.

Just because it is something that can be done in the process of debugging doesn't make it a programming question (the question "how do you edit a file" is not a programming question - even if the file is named "hello.c").
