I tried to use system() to reinsert probes using proc:::exec-success or 
proc:::start but 
execution of the process in which context it was fired is not synchronized with 
new dtrace 
instance started in system(). The result is that with this I can't trace 
short-lived 
processes because they are finished before new dtrace instance in system() 
reinserts 
probes (it takes some time). 

Do you know some workaround ?

Thanks J.
