newproc.d(1m)			 USER COMMANDS			 newproc.d(1m)

NAME
       newproc.d - snoop new processes. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       newproc.d

DESCRIPTION
       newproc.d  is a DTrace OneLiner to snoop new processes as they are run.
       The argument listing is printed.

       This is useful to identify short lived processes that are usually  dif‐
       ficult to spot using traditional tools.

       Docs/oneliners.txt   and	 Docs/Examples/oneliners_examples.txt  in  the
       DTraceToolkit contain this as a oneliner that  can  be  cut-n-paste  to
       run.

       Since  this  uses  DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this
       command.

EXAMPLES
       This prints new processes until Ctrl-C is hit.
	      # newproc.d

FIELDS

       ID     A DTrace probe ID for the event

       FUNCTION:NAME

       remaining fields
	      These contains the argument listing for the new process

DOCUMENTATION
       See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the  Docs	direc‐
       tory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver‐
       bose descriptions explaining the output.
