Hi! ----
Here comes the requested paragraph for the Google Summer of Code project: -- snip -- Title: "DTrace support for a POSIX shell (ksh93)" Text: "This project should exploit the way of adding DTrace probes to a POSIX shell (building on top of the already running "OpenSolaris ksh93-integration project[1]"), allowing to monitor activities in a shell script (like command execution, entering/exiting shell functions, subshell creation/destruction, shell child process creation/destruction, calls of external+builtin commands, getting the lanugage-level stacktrace, trace variable set/get/unset etc.) at shell script language level in a non-invasive way (for example monitor activities in already running scripts without altering their behaviour (the "normal" way of tracing in a POSIX shell slightly alters the script's behaviour and requires to restart the script for each tracing/debugging session)). This project can be split into seperate smaller tasks (with varying degree of difficulty and size (ranging from small&&easy up to medium-sized tasks), see [2]) which can be done by seperate project members in parallel." -- snip -- [1]=http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/ and http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/osdevconf2007/osoldevconf2007_ksh93_talk_version100.html [2]=http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2007-March/002412.html ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
