Hi Hans,

I would like to know why dtrace -l |grep plockstat show plockstat28099 lines.
Process with pid 28099 is a java process.

Why can I not examine other processes with the plockstat provider?
Is it a java startup option?


No. The probes that plockstat uses only become visible when you
actually run the plockstat(1M) command against a running process.
We create them in a lazy manner like this because the probes that
plockstat relies upon are in libc and we don't want to create these
probes every time a process starts (and destroy them when it exits).

If you run plockstat against any other process then you'll now
see the probess when you execute `dtrace -l -P plockstat*`.

Jon.
