.TH woof.d 1m "$Date: 2015/09/30 22:01:09 $" "USER COMMANDS"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
woof.d \- Bark for new processes. Needs /dev/audio. Uses DTrace.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B woof.d &
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is an audio alert daemon for process creation. It is a virtual dog which
|
|
barks when it sees new processes. If many processes are being created
|
|
quickly, it will bark a lot (and become a nuisance - not just the noise,
|
|
but also from consuming too much CPU).
|
|
|
|
This exists in the DTraceToolkit more for entertainment than
|
|
practicality.
|
|
|
|
Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
|
|
dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
|
|
.SH OS
|
|
Solaris
|
|
.SH STABILITY
|
|
stable - needs the proc provider, /usr/bin/audioplay, and bark.au.
