Hello,

I have a quick question - can a pause a running process, look at its
memory addressing and then show the contents of those addresses? This
is for solaris 8.

I have looked at ptrace, pstack, truss, gdb - and they are not exaclty
what is needed,

ptrace can not attach to a process, needs to start process
truss does not display user calls, only system calls. There is a
separate package for user calls but its inadequate.
gdb crashes ;-).

pstack ?

i haven't looked at gbx - is that the missing link? Or is this only
gonna be possible with the dtrace in future releases?

regards,

Igor'
