I thought that there might be some trick one could use to get the truss command just to trace operations on one file

You could probably write a perl script that monitors the output of truss and figures out which lines refer to a file of a particular name...

Hi Guys,<br />
Can someone please give me an example of how to use the truss command to monitor all operations on a particular file.<br />
<br />
I know there is an -r switch and reference to a file descriptor - but sure if this is simply a name of a file which you have to pass in or something different<br />
<br />
<br />

Use Unix truss command to monitor all operations and activity on a file

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
