Note, opening "trace" via cat stops tracing. There is a possible race where the cat will not produce events. My worry is that if the shell implements its own "cat" command, it may not fork, and open the trace file. Which would not have any events in it, and opening it will disable the rest of the command from having events. What about using: ping localhost -c 1 ? -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
