If a process runs for a long time, I can use "ps -aux -www" to see info about it, and even look at /proc/pid/* But sometimes a process starts, runs, and ends before I can see it with "ps -aux -www" or can look at /proc/pid/* Is there a way to log processes? A daemon or kernel module that creates syslog entries like this: Nov 23 16:57:38 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 started, command=foo, arg1=bar, arg2=blah Nov 23 16:57:38 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 opened file "/tmp/foobar.txt", file descriptor 3 Nov 23 16:57:39 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 ended Obviously this would be something that could turned on/off (would really clutter the logs otherwise). I know about strace, but that only works well for processes I start from the command-line. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
