I have a situation that I would like to debug with dtrace, but I am not sure
how.

I have a process that kicks off, runs for a few seconds (perhaps
milliseconds) then goes away. And this happens very frequently, think
old-school CGI based web app. And just for a little more fun, this app makes
extensive use of shared libraries.

How can I use dtrace? I don't have an existing process to attach the pid
provider.

I could use the pid$target stuff, but that would linvolve modifying the
system to kick off the processes with dtrace -c. This would be possible, but
painful. And, it would mean I would have to use a post-processing step
should I want/need to aggregate results from multiple processes.
