Hi all, The space between the T and the r is not a typo. The problem is the following. I want to dtrace a process by means of its pid. When the process exits the dtrace must also exit. The problem is that by the time the dtrace probes fire, the process could already have gone, and hence the exit probe will never fire.
Is there a way of checking if the process with a certain pid does still exist? I tried by adding a dummy pid probe. Sometimes I get ": failed to grab process <pid>' but sometimes I do not, and the dtrace process last forever. BTW: tracing a process exit isn't easy as well: rexit only fires when the porcess calls exit but when a signal is sent.... you always get lwp_exit fired, how to know this will cause the process to exit and not a single thread? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
