This months Top Tip is for Solaris 10 Dtrace

dividers

Dtrace is a new feature in Solaris 10 that allows you to track and record any system call any application makes.  Debugging programming and performance issues is therefore much easier -once you've learnt some dtrace!  For example, to get all files opened by all processes is a one-liner:

dtrace -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }'

Brendan Gregg, a Sun instructor, has put together a toolkit and some examples; click here to find out more.
