Process logger?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If a process runs for a long time, I can use "ps -aux -www" to see
info about it, and even look at /proc/pid/*

But sometimes a process starts, runs, and ends before I can see it
with "ps -aux -www" or can look at /proc/pid/*

Is there a way to log processes? A daemon or kernel module that
creates syslog entries like this:

Nov 23 16:57:38 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 started, command=foo,
arg1=bar, arg2=blah

Nov 23 16:57:38 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 opened file
"/tmp/foobar.txt", file descriptor 3

Nov 23 16:57:39 machine processd[6052]: Process 1234 ended

Obviously this would be something that could turned on/off (would
really clutter the logs otherwise).

I know about strace, but that only works well for processes I start
from the command-line.
