Title: SnoopDOS for Linux
Post by: SlimJim on March 25, 2003, 11:32:37 AM

Can anyone point me to a program working similarily to
SnoopDOS, but in a linux environment (also preferably
having a similar interface)?

You could use strace when executing a program.

I dont know of anything else similar to snoopdos.

Yeah, sort of an Holy Grail,  huh ?

On *every* other OS I find myself wishing for an utility like that, I mean it's essential !

Well, TOP does a good job of showing actual processes, and the Gnome GUI for it (Gtop) is quite impressive and powerful. Strace can help you too.

But no such gem as snoopdos or even scout.

If you're a PERL guru, then you know what to do :)

@ dammy
 
Looks promising. Too bad I cannot download it. I'll try again later.

Not much help, but related:
For Windows environments you can use DiskMon and RegMon (don't know the URLs) to monitor disk and registry activity in a very SnoopDOS-similar way.
