Sorry, I still cannot reply from the web interface on gmane. And this is an different approach suggesting for Peter's Chrony issues so it might warrant a new thread anyway.
<snip> The installation-default file causes the start-stop-daemon to catch an unexpected interrupt and report an error, even though the chronyd process continues to run. Any time I run 'strace -ff -o/tmp/chronyd.strace /etc/init.d/chronyd start' the init process runs normally and I'm left with scores of trace files, none of which help because the stray interrupt wasn't detected <end/snip> So, a while back the excellent tools of trace-cmd and kernelshark (part of trace-cmd) were added to the portage tree. Here is a little 'diddy' that might get you going [1]. Also, there is much posted on the use of ftrace, trace-cmd and kernelshark. These very powerful tools take a while to master. Often, I try to recreate deep performance problems on minimal system, just to reduce the amount of data one has to parse. .......... Thanksgiving:: WE *all* have thanks to give to others for a very wide variety of reasons, regardless of ilk. So the original, spiritually oriented, nature of a giving thanks and sharing a meal with others, has caught on world wide. Sharing a meal, and the breaking of bread between folks, is as old as humanity itself. When a spiritual dimension is added, it only becomes a more powerful message that transcends time and space. Ultimately it is a time of peace, harmony and a celebration of life, civility and the giving (spirit) that comprises "good will" amongst us all. happy thanksgiving, and peace to all!
