Yes, I know strace for a long of time from Linux and was always
happy about it because it has better features than truss of SVR4
and FreeBSD; I did not know that it was ported to FreeBSD as well;

now I've installed it on my 5.4-REL and there is a small bug
which is fixed already, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=62377

without that small patch strace hangs if you fire it up
with the command on the commandline like:

$ strace date

I'm really looking forward to dtrace being part of freebsd. Anyone knows when 
this will happen? (are we talking 6.x or 7.0?)

You can take a snapshot of files being used by lsof:
Port:   lsof-4.76.1.1
Path:   /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof
Info:   Lists information about open files (similar to fstat(1))

Monitoring a program






Hi all

I would like to know what files a program access during it's life time 
(and 
maybe also the internet connections it makes), how should I do this?
I have considered fstat, find, ktrace and searching the source or binary 
for 
path strings, but I guess I need a hook for open().

I'm running 5.4 on a ia32, but if there is a 6.x only program it is also 
welcome.

Best regards

Re: traffic volume monitoring - what program

2004-12-23 Thread Peter Schuller
 I am looking at a new ISP that charges for a certain number
 gigabites of traffic. I have -no- idea what my traffic volume
 is.
 
 Can anyone recommend a good traffic volume checker in the
 ports?

I recommend setting up snmpd + rrdtool (portinstall net/net-snmp net/rrdtool).
It's much easier and cleaner to configure than mrtg (in my experience).

If you're interested I have a few scripts that do what you want in a basic
bandwidth graphing situation for a few hosts; generating relatively sane
graphs.

 Can't MRTG get you close enough for that wouldn't it?

... with some more configuration than with ipac-ng, yes :)

I only found ipac-ng for Linux based IPTABLES firewalls.
But none so far for *BSD firewalls :(
