+title: Trace Creation of Processes
+name: forktracker.stp
+version: 0.1

+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.

+# This is a stap script to monitor process creations (fork(), exec()'s).
+# Based off of stap script found: http://picobot.org/wordpress/?p=27
+# With some minor modifications (i.e. timestamping)
+# 
+# Usage: stap forktracker.stp
+#
+# Sample output:
+#
+# timestamp: process_name (pid) new_pid
+#
+# Version 0.1
