I was thinking it would be safer if you knew that before clicking on edit - a message on the viewable page. thanks, Brendan

Thanks for identifying it. I''ll speak to Derek. -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - dp@eng.sun.com - blogs.sun.com/dp
G''Day Folks, The DTrace Toolkit went missing in the website migration (no problem, I did a backup), but I haven''t worked out how to recreate it yet (no add page link?). I''m quite determined to see a decent DTrace Toolkit created, and I think it makes sense to have this developed by the OpenSolaris folk such that it is a community effort (please reply if you think that may not be such a good idea after all!). Just thought I''d better write in case anyone went looking at the link below to find it no longer works. The link may not work, but the DTrace Toolkit is still around (on my home server), I''m still working on it (just wrote four new tools), and hopefully it will return to OpenSolaris.

G''Day Folks, DTrace needs you! There is a new website at, https://www.opensolaris.org/projects/Wiki.jsp?page=DTraceToolkit that can serve as the development grounds for a "DTrace Toolkit" - a packaged freeware collection of useful DTrace based tools. Tools written by all of us! I''ve written up a few guidelines, created a table of contents, and added a few scripts to get the ball rolling. The guidelines are standard Unix conventions - keep it simple, do one task well, document, etc (see Kernighan/Pike, "Art of Unix Programming" ESR...). Feel free to dive in and edit the site, the wiki does do write locks to prevent us from stepping on each others toes. Perhaps a good safty measure is to save "<name> is currently editing this" at the top of the site when you begin editing, and remove it when finished. A while ago it was discussed here if we could put DTrace tools on http://www.sunfreeware.com, bigadmin or straight into /usr/demo/dtrace. Let''s just start by writing the tools! We can distribute the toolkit after it has been documented, tested and packaged up nicely. :-) We can also start a few extra threads on this list to discuss coding style, script usefullness, etc. If you are a little unsure about a scripts inclusion, you can post it to the list and I''m sure many of us will be glad to provide feedback. Another welcome post to this list is suggestions for scripts. Please say what you''d like to see in a toolkit that would be useful for you. ... and I imagine some of you already have pet scripts that belong in a toolkit (eg, Alan, Jarod, Dan, etc... :-) Brendan [Sydney, Australia] _______________________________________________ DTrace mailing list DTrace@opensolaris.org https://www.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/dtrace
