You were absolutely on to it -- sudo appears to be the culprit here. I ktrace'd both an attempt using sudo and not using sudo (as root). Snippet of ktrace output when running the aforementioned dtrace command as root, which works as expected: 8804 initial thread PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x80065d0d0 mask=0x0 code=0x0 8804 initial thread CALL sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x7fffffffe06c,0) 8804 initial thread RET sigprocmask 0 8804 initial thread CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffdc90) 8804 initial thread RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN 8804 initial thread CALL fstat(0x1,0x7fffffffe000) 8804 initial thread STRU struct stat {dev=67174144, ino=120, mode=crw--w---- , nlink=1, uid=1001, gid=4, rdev=120, atime=1291504111, stime=1291504111, ctime= 1291504111, birthtime=-1, size=0, blksize=4096, blocks=0, flags=0x0 } 8804 initial thread RET fstat 0 8804 initial thread CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCGETA,0x7fffffffe050) 8804 initial thread RET ioctl 0 8804 initial thread CALL write(0x1,0x8029b6000,0x1) 8804 initial thread GIO fd 1 wrote 1 byte " Snippet of ktrace output when running the aforementioned dtrace command with sudo, which produces no output: 4527 initial thread PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x80065d0d0 mask=0x0 code=0x0 4527 initial thread CALL sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x7fffffffe22c,0) 4527 initial thread RET sigprocmask 0 4527 initial thread CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffde50) 4527 initial thread RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN 4527 initial thread PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x80065d0d0 mask=0x0 code=0x0 4527 initial thread CALL sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x7fffffffe22c,0) 4527 initial thread RET sigprocmask 0 4527 initial thread CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffde50) 4527 initial thread RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN 4527 initial thread PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x80065d0d0 mask=0x0 code=0x0 4527 initial thread CALL sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x7fffffffe22c,0) 4527 initial thread RET sigprocmask 0 4527 initial thread CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffde50) 4527 initial thread RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN 4527 initial thread CALL fstat(0x1,0x7fffffffe1c0) 4527 initial thread STRU struct stat {dev=67174144, ino=128, mode=crw--w---- , nlink=1, uid=1001, gid=4, rdev=128, atime=1291523109, stime=1291523110, ctime= 1291523110, birthtime=-1, size=0, blksize=4096, blocks=0, flags=0x0 } 4527 initial thread RET fstat 0 4527 initial thread CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCGETA,0x7fffffffe210) 4527 initial thread RET ioctl 0 4527 initial thread CALL write(0x1,0x8029b6000,0x1) 4527 initial thread GIO fd 1 wrote 1 byte Well, I'm glad to finally get to the bottom of this, and I want to apologize for the noise, but I think this is still a "gotcha" for new DTrace users, and I hope it can be noted somewhere (perhaps the DTrace sections on the FreeBSD wiki). -Brandon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
