process tracing

Josh_13 — Wed, 13 Feb 2002 22:12:39 GMT

i'm having a problem witha a piece of softeware that i know works on hpux 10.20 because o different machine has it running. however, on the one i am using, the program that is necesary in order to get tha machine backed up won't run.

we thought it waas a problem with portmapper since it woulnd't return rpcinfo. we cleared that up.

i need to know if there's a way to trace a program, get to to print to screen what happenes as it starts up once you execute the command. if there's a way to do this someone here who knows the program will be able to fix the problem

it should be similar to the solaris truss command

thanx

Hi:

You probably want to use tusc which is available from any of the HP-UX Porting Centre's: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/tusc-7.2/

If you have the source, you can, of course, do much better tracing and debugging.

tusc and lsof are comprable to truss.
Tusc can be found at:
http://www.pugcentral.org/howto/truss.htm
points you to http://hpux.cs.utah.edu to pick up a copy of tusc.
LSOF can be downloaded from
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.48/

even though you didn't make that post in resposne to me i'd like to thank you for it. i just bookmarked the howto page. it will be helpful in the future.
