title: Trace process exec() with command line argument details (non-debuginfo) name: execsnoop-nd.stp author: Brendan Gregg keywords: io description: This can identify if CPU is consumed by short-lived processes, by tracing new process execution. It works by tracing exec() from the fork()->exec() sequence, which means it will not catch new processes that only fork(). It will also show every exec(), including those if a process re-execs. scope: system-wide usage: ./execsnoop-nd.stp test_support: stap -p4 execsnoop-nd.stp test_check: stap -p4 execsnoop-nd.stp test_installcheck: stap execsnoop-nd.stp -T 1
