WAR STORY: monitoring more inode activity http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/WSFileMonitor2?highlight=((WarStories))
no script in examples
This section describes how to monitor if any processes are changing the attributes of a targeted file, in real time.
inodewatch2-simple.stp
Like from , takes the targeted file's device number (in integer format) and inode number as arguments. For more information on how to retrieve this information, refer to .
The output for is similar to that of , except that also contains the attribute changes to the monitored file, as well as the ID of the user responsible (uid()). contains shows the output of while monitoring /home/joe/bigfile when user joe executes chmod 777 /home/joe/bigfile and chmod 666 /home/joe/bigfile.
Sample Output
chmod(17448) inode_setattr 0x800005/6011835 100777 500
chmod(17449) inode_setattr 0x800005/6011835 100666 500
