OK, well, the problem is actually the '\' 'continuation' characters in the above string. I'll fix that properly, but in the meantime, removing those chars in the documentation strings will let you try it out i.e. # echo 'wakeup_latency lat=sched_switch:wakeup_lat pid=sched_switch:woken_pid prio=sched_switch:woken_prio' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Tom
