dtrace discuss - May 2007 - Dtrace / System Command

Hello,
is It possible to create a dtrace script that is used a solaris system command.
For example a script that will print the result of the uname -a command?

Thx you if you could show me how to do that

If you mean, run "uname -a" from DTrace,

	# dtrace -qwn ''BEGIN { system("uname -a"); exit(0);
}''
	SunOS laptop 5.10 Generic_118844-20 i86pc i386 i86pc

but that isn''t needed in this case considering DTrace can fetch such
details itself and without resorting to destructive mode (-w),

	# /opt/DTT/Bin/uname-a.d
	SunOS laptop 5.10 Generic_118844-20 i86pc i386 i86pc

That script was from the DTraceToolkit, which contains,

	/* print system info */
	dtrace:::BEGIN
	{
		printf("%s %s %s %s %s %s %s",
		    `utsname.sysname,
		    `utsname.nodename,
		    `utsname.release,
		    `utsname.version,
		    `utsname.machine,
		    `architecture,
		    `platform);

		exit(0);
	}

no worries,

Brendan
