dtrace4linux: to trace some interesting tidbits of the kernel.

To watch what a particular process is doing, call strace on it. For example, if you’re only interested in filesystem accesses:

strace -s9999 -efile command_name    # trace a program during its whole execution
strace -s9999 -efile -p1234          # trace a running program with the given PID

strace is specific to Linux, but other systems have a similar tool: truss on Solaris, ktrace or dtrace under *BSD, etc.

To watch what’s happening to a particular file or in a particular directory or directory tree, use the inotify facility.

inotifywait -m .
