I want to know how long do interactive users wait for scripts/programs to run
using DTrace?
Please help me out in this regard...

Arun:

Not sure if this is what you are asking. In DTrace you subscribe
for probes and wait for these probes to fire. So the script will run
until you stop it (or call exit() from within). So to terminate a script
just hit ^c.

Hopefully this answered what you wanted?

I actually understood this a bit differently: I think Arun wants to measure 
the delay between someone pressing return on a commandline and the program 
actually "running".
There''s a few things that come to mind:
- you need to monitor the user''s shell to catch the
''return''
- you need to define what constitutes a "running" program (probably
not as
easy as it sounds).
