Busting Bugs on server

Henry Chua — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 07:39:53 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a problem on my system. There are multiple programs that we have written running on the background that are doing various stuff. However, i suspect one of the program may have a bug and keep calling one particular program and generate tons of log. Can I trace which program is the culprit? How do i do that?

Thank u..

Hi
You can use truss utility to trace the particular suspected process by mentioning it process id . from its output you can come to know the all traces of particular process

you should know how to analysis the out put .

otherwise you can use kitrace utility also.

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for the tips. I make a search on 'truss' online, it seems really useful. But I am not sure why is it unavailable on my system.. is it a free-wear? where do u think i can get it. I am running HPUX10.20b by way.

Thanks alot!
