See the post below. Is there a way to get at this information in FreeBSD?
Thanks,
Jos

+1. =) I've talked to the FreeBSD people and they just laugh
maniacally when I ask for a truss that follows children. AIUI,
NetBSD has this, so it is possible to port these changes over,
but it requires an overhaul to procfs from what I've been told.
FreeBSD has a long way to get the stellar debugging capabilities
of Solaris. -- justin
