and see if its output changes when you start to trace it.
%cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
while(1) {
sleep(5);
printf("ppid = %d\n", getppid());
}
}
%gcc -o test test.c
%./test
ppid = 47653
ppid = 47653
ppid = 47653 # Started "truss -p 48864" here!
ppid = 49073
ppid = 49073
ppid = 49073
Agreed, but we need to understand what the tools being used to
investigate the problem are doing ...
Unfortunately, I'm not able to install strace:
# pwd
/usr/ports/devel/strace
# make
===> strace-4.5.7 is only for i386, while you are running amd64.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/strace.
I'll happily install any trace tool, but have no clue which one would help.
