Tools for Process Accounting in Solaris

Hi, I need to monitor all the processes that get executed on a Solaris 2.6
box. The process accounting and Sun BSM provided by Solaris does not seem to
meet my requirements. With process accounting and BSM enabled on my Solaris
2.6 box, I could only see just a list of commands and system calls. For
instance, if I execute a perl script, all the unix commands used in the
script are shown as individual commands and I could not see any relation
among those commands. As a result, the reports generated with acctcom and
praudit do not give me sufficient information to decide which scripts or
programs actually invoked those listed commands.

Please suggest me if there are any better ways of monitoring all the
processes and generating reports.

Sreenivas.
P.S: I could not use an evaluation copy of Tripwire for Servers for this
purpose as it seems to be giving the user information about their product by
some predefined simulations.
