I use it in scripts but will look to switching to pledge when I
have time, which I *should* be able to find in the next 6 months, haha.
It is however sometimes insightful as a quick and dirty debugging tool.

Unfortunately systrace overhead can be significant for monitoring
complex programs but it could potentially be useful as a part of a
(HIPS or system intrusion or malfunction detection for a secure
server). hmmm, assuming pledge doesn't kill the offending process first,
haha.

I guess pledging /bin/sh may throw up challenges too though I see many
pledges in csh? and so is systrace useful there?
