There are a number of utilities that apparently solve this need.
1. A SVR4 package that comes on the associated products CD, contains sar, fuser, truss, timex, fmli, svr4-printspooler etc.
The packages are:
SVEADM410 installed System Management Package (System V
Environment)
SVEBCP410 installed Base Compatibility Package (System V
Environmen)
SVEDEV410 installed Development Tools Package (System V
Environment)
SVEENV410 installed Environment Setup files (System V
Environment)
SVEMAN410 installed Man Pages Package (System V Environment)
SVEPRINT410 Print Package (System V Environment)
2. A number of people recommended trace 1.25. The source for this is readily available from ftp sites. (
http://www.digital.com/misc/pub-domain-osf1.txt.html.) This may also be called alpha-trace.
3. strace (apparently not the streams trace package I have on my system) is available from ftp sites (strace-3.1.0.1-du.tgz)
4. Lars Bro has written one as an exercise. Contact him if you would like to discuss it.
5. sctrace was suggested, as being installed as part of the base UNIX, but it is not on my system.
