Monitoring the soons of a process during some times

[patfrench]

I would like to follow the activity of a process. I tried the syscalls command but I have a lot of trouble with it.
Do you have an idea ?

Hi,

What exactly do you want to achieve?
One can &quot;ps -ef |grep <fatherprocess-ID>&quot; in loop,then watch the sons that it creates.

For deeper tracing one ca use the &quot;trace&quot; utility,that will nail down all kernel activity,then display the log by PID. &quot;Long live king Moshiach !&quot;

I would like to know all the process launch by one other process and the parameters of the processes.
The ps -ef |grep PID is not a &quot;real time&quot; solution because you need to run the command on a loop an you can't be sure that you will gather all the process.
Of course I want to know when a soon process finished !!!

At first I would like to use the syscalls command but i have some problem to use this one.
Does somebody use this command.?
The problem is to attach a PID with the syscalls -p PID command.
Thank's
