If we had better documentation why would it be hidden? The best documentation is the source code. In this case, the use of strace -p would require that you do your debugging from an account which had the ability to access the executing pid. If you are running inetd from a privileged account and stracing from a user account that won't work for hopefully obvious reasons. Also, due to limitations in the Windows API, there is no way to strace a forked process via strace -p. strace -p uses the DebugActiveProcess function and there is no way to tell the process being debugged that you need to follow CreateProcess calls. cgf -- Please do not send me personal email with cygwin questions.
