dtrace discuss - Oct 2005 - dapptrace and firefox

/usr/sfw/bin/firefox is a shell script which calls run-mozilla.sh which calls
firebox-bin.

Is there a way to call dapptrace on firefox in order to trace firefox-bin?

  Heres a little script below to start dapptrace when firebox-bin starts...

#begin script -- cut here --
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace

proc:::exec-success
/execname == "firebox-bin"/
{
	system("/path/to/dapptrace <options> -p %d", pid);
	exit(0);
}
# end script -- cut here --

Will we not miss some activity in firebox-bin as it will be running while we are
launching dapptrace?

You could add a "stop()" call to the probe if you wanted it to wait
for
dtrace to attach.
