You can but the level of effort required is dependent upon
the scope of the variable in question (i.e. if it''s global
or local).

This has been discussed several times before. Some references
are:

There may well be an entry on this topic on the DTrace wiki at
http://www.solarisinternals.com. If there isn''t then I really do
need to create one...
