DTrace is not reliable in this sense: it will drop events rather than overburden the system. Also, system calls are not the only thing you want to watch for -- you should really trace the VFS/fop rather than syscalls for this. In any case, port_create(3C) and gamin are the way forward. port_create(3C) is rather easy to use. Searching the web for PORT_SOURCE_FILE you'll find useful docs like: http://blogs.sun.com/praks/entry/file_events_notification which has example code too. I do think it'd be useful to have command-line utility in core Solaris that uses this facility, something like the example in Prakash's blog (which, incidentally, _works_), but perhaps a bit more complete.
