Actually, the version of ptime that Jim's talking about _can_ attach to a running app. I added the -p option to do just that. (Of course, it won't attach to a running app and then wait until it completes, it only attaches long enough to grab a snapshot of the microstate stats.) For example: # ptime -mp `pgrep nscd` real 29:45:57.427092032 user 1.852038785 sys 2.133489810 trap 0.005027352 tflt 0.000000000 dflt 0.000009597 kflt 0.000000000 lock 29:45:54.115500466 slp 773:53:38.737153459 lat 0.105180668 stop 0.017284688 # Chad _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
