9202.0. "trace command in Digital Unix" by CUESTA::MARCOS () Mon Mar 17 1997 11:23

    
    Hello, I need to know which is the command in DUnix to do a "trace -o"
    Oracle asked me that I sent them the output of a "trace -o" of a
    process but I am seing that command in a Sun system but I don't in a
    digital unix system.
    
    
    Anybody can help me?
    
    Thanks in advanced,
                       Maria

    trace is a PD program to monitor system calls. 
    it should be on gatekeeper, if you perform a title search inhere,
    you should find other pointers too. take a look which version you're 
    getting, ther are some floating around having some differences in the 
    system call numbering (>180). compare it to the syscall list generated
    in /sys/BINARY. 
    if you don't find it, aosf manager list points to 
    ftp://ftp.ccc.nottingham.ac.uk/pub/unix/examples/trace.tar.gz
    
    even easier if you've got the SVE kit sysv developers extensions
    installed use the truss command, which does essentially the same.

	do an altavista NOTES search on this conference for "truss".
	You get a supported version if you install the System V stuff
	on Digital UNIX, and there was a pointer to the public domain
	version.

    SVE requires a license. Therefore, since truss is in SVE, then yes, you
    do need a license.

    I have installed SVE and truss work fine, but when I try to trace a
    Oracle Form that It was what I wanted to do I get the following error:
    
    Psetrun:Operation would block
    truss: cannot start subject process
    Psetrun:Operation would block
    
    Oracle asked me that I get a "trace -o" in my system because the Oracle
    trace don't  produce enough information.
