Built-in equivalent of truss

Hi,

Is there an equivalent of truss bundled with system. I see mentions of tusc in the archives, but it looks like it is an "add-on".

Thank you.

Hi Peter,

Correct tusc/truss is an add on, you can download it from the HPUX porting center.

Re: Built-in equivalent of truss

Hi,

there is no 'builtin' tool like truss.
If you do not want to use 'tusc', there is a tool called GPM (Glance Plus Measureware?) (NOT for free) available from HP, which really can be valueable - compare it to something like DTRACE at Solaris hosts.

Re: Built-in equivalent of truss

My question has been answered: no truss-like system call trace tool is bundled with HP-UX.

I even obtained the "bonus information" (which I didn't ask for, but was actually interested in) that there is a DTrace-like tool for HP-UX (not bundled either).

Thank you!

Peter
