Hi all,
I want to trace the thread_reaper and want to find out, how often it runs and
how many threads it really reaps.
I use this one-liner in the first step:

This is not windows, please become familiar with unix and linux file system
heirarchies, this will give you an understanding that there is no single
directory that is used to contain applications.

If you want to have garbage on your disk then use another OS. Packaging systems
like IPS and others are here to have consistent hierarchy of installed packages
on your system for easy maintenance, easy writing of apps from third vendors
and so on.

1) Use as much as possible apps from official repositories or some third party
repositories
2) If it's not enough then consider using some virtualization
3) If it's still not enough then learn how to compile apps on OpenSolaris, how
to prepare apps for IPS in OpenSolaris and so on

Application settings are stored in your home directory so you can't loose them

If I'm not mistaken, thread_reaper() is created during system boot by a
call to thread_create. It then lives forever in the system until it is
shut down.
Thus the entry probe will only ever be fired once during the kernel
initialisation, and by the time you run your dtrace script,

If these two are not the same, then:

Hello.
What did you upgrade from?
I upgraded from opensolaris b123 (x86-64).
If you mount the old BE, did the file have any

Yes, they had about 300 lines in old BE.

The source code is also available, so Sun is not
denying you the fixes,
they're just not providing free binaries to everyone.
Updates are a form of support, and support costs.
I know, I know, that everything costs something... And a community of users is
also a very expensive thing...
