+title: Trace Creation of Processes
+name: forktracker.stp
+version: 0.1
+author: Phil Muldoon at Red Hat
+keywords: process scheduler
+subsystem: scheduler
+status: production
+exit: user-controlled
+output: trace
+scope: system-wide
+description: The forktracker.stp script prints out a time-stamped entry showing each fork and exec operation on the machine. This can be useful for determine what process is creating a flurry of short-lived processes.
+test_check: stap -p4 forktracker.stp
+test_installcheck: stap forkracker.stp -c "sleep 1"

+# This is a stap script to monitor process creations (fork(), exec()'s).
+# Based off of stap script found: http://picobot.org/wordpress/?p=27

+# Usage: stap forktracker.stp

+# Sample output:
+#
+# timestamp: process_name (pid) new_pid

+# Version 0.1
