Calling dtrace utility from within other scripts. DTraceToolkit (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/dtracetoolkit) has ample examples 2. Being able to use dtrace APIs from within a scripting language seamlessly (for ex like a function call in perl/tcl/python/etc). For this one needs to write language bindings for the scripting language based on APIs provided by libdtrace. This is more involved work. You may look at http://dev.lrem.net/tcldtrace as an example (for tcl) -Shiv _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
