Have a nice day,

Apparently Tom's original message never made it to the list, but I think
this is well worth the bandwidth to share. Tom wrote a quick Perl
script to parse the output from strace, so you could use the method I
described a little (lot) more conveniently. I haven't tested it but it
looks pretty straight forward. Sorry bout the line breaks but I didn't
want to send an attachment.

Van de Wiele.

# To be used on a logfile or in real-time (as fast as /usr/bin/script
logs to file that is) like this:
#
# # script /tmp/what_is_user_foo_doing.log
# Script started, file is /tmp/what_is_user_foo_doing.log
# # strace -p <PID of shell of user>

# Using a different terminal at the same time:
# # perl strace_clean.pl /tmp/what_is_user_doing.log
