Hello,
    I'm trying to use strace to debug a program as directed by a developer.
The command i was given is:
strace -f -o /tmp/logfile comandname -d
where d is debug. When i enter this i get an error that a proc file is
unable to be open. I don't have any proc files. I've never done any
debugging, can anyone clue me in to what strace wants?
Thanks.
Dave.
