I'm going to have to do some reading on 'strace' I think. But I'll be trying the options 'debug' idea right away.
I have used strace (and ltrace) several times previously, and found it very usefull to know what a program was doing. The problem is, of course, that the trace file can be huge, specially for ltrace. Look, I just traced the ls command; notice the sizes of the reports: -rw-r--r-- 1 cer users 459838 2003-09-03 02:40 trace-l -rw-r--r-- 1 cer users 12328 2003-09-03 02:41 trace-s Just think what could happen for a long program run!
I'll send back my results as soon as I've concluded these tests.
I'll be interested. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
