1 Shell - DTracing Shell Scripting
3 These scripts trace activity of various shell programming languages,
4 and make use of specific shell DTrace providers, which are either
5 integrated or available for download from the shells page listed below.
6 Each script has a prefix to make the shell language clear.

10 sh - the Bourne Shell. This provider was written by Alan Hargreaves and
11 is currently available both as a diff and in binary form from the shells
14 Since the DTrace Shell providers are under development, there is a chance
15 that they have changed slightly by the time you are reading this, causing
16 these scripts to either break or behave oddly. Firstly, check for newer
17 versions of the DTraceToolkit; if it hasn't been updated and you need
18 to use these scripts immediately, then updating them shouldn't take
19 too long. The following was the state of the providers when these scripts
20 were written - check for changes and update the scripts accordingly,
