+title: tabulate system call errors
+name: errsnoop.stp
+keywords: process syscall
+subsystem: general
+description: The script prints a periodic tabular report about failing system calls, by process and by syscall failure.  The first optional argument specifies the reporting interval (in seconds, default 5); the second optional argument gives a screen height (number of lines in the report, default 20).
