Pstack

This shell script is designed to obtain a backtrace of a specified process by its process ID. It checks if the process exists and determines whether to use a simple backtrace or a threaded backtrace based on the process's characteristics. The script then invokes GDB to execute the appropriate backtrace command and formats the output to remove unnecessary information.
