Tusc is a trace/truss-like system call tracing tool for HP-UX 11. A system call trace utility runs another command and displays, as it runs, every system call that it makes. You can download it from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/tusc-7.7/

tusc command is used to trace system calls a process invokes and the signals it receives while executing. It is like the strace utility on Linux systems.

It can be used as

tusc [options] command [args ...]

executes the command and displays invoked system calls or received signals by the executed command.

For any command to run it has to use a lot of system calls to interact with the kernel.

As kernel is the mail workhorse.

This each and every call to the kernel is tracked via tusc.

This will help you in identifying if anything is going wrong or not.

I dont think it is possible to specify time interval. But you can print CPU time with -c option.

I suspect the other places will be catching-up soon; there is a version 7.8 of tusc available for download via:

ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/

one for PA-RISC, the other for IPF.

WRT "timing" tusc, I do not recall there being such an option from tusc itself, but you could in theory do something akin to:

tusc .... &
sleep N
kill -QUIT %1

from the shell. I've not tried it myself though.
