| Keybuk | (daemonising process being watched) | 01:25 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: how? | 01:57 |
| Keybuk | darkest magic ;) | 01:58 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: open source?? | 01:58 |
| Keybuk | obviously | 01:58 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: url then? | 01:59 |
| Keybuk | no url | 01:59 |
| Keybuk | just on my machine | 01:59 |
| sadmac | I don't believe you then X:( | 02:01 |
| sadmac | whoa, I waay mistyped that smilie | 02:01 |
| sadmac | he's gonna have to go to a special school | 02:01 |
| Keybuk | which bit don't you believe? :p | 02:01 |
| sadmac | You didn't do the forking! Code or GTFO! | 02:01 |
| sadmac | </4chan> | 02:01 |
| Keybuk | the code of forkwatch won't look that interesting to you | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | it opens a netlink socket and listens on it | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | reading the messages containing the parent and child pids | 02:02 |
| sadmac | my lkml dump doesn't have anything interesting from you... | 02:03 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: did you look into pjones' suggestion of just "write a utrace module?" | 02:04 |
| Keybuk | yes | 02:04 |
| Keybuk | I also looked into other people's suggestions as well of interesting ways to do it | 02:05 |
| Keybuk | and when I got to the bit of the kernel which I had to modify | 02:05 |
| Keybuk | found out that somebody had already got there before me | 02:05 |
| sadmac | so this is already upstream? | 02:06 |
| Keybuk | yes | 02:06 |
| * sadmac pulls open the documentation folder in his git tree... | 02:06 | |
| Keybuk | since 2.6.14 | 02:06 |
| Keybuk | ah, see | 02:06 |
| Keybuk | that's the rub | 02:06 |
| Keybuk | it's almost completely undocumented | 02:06 |
| Keybuk | what documentation there is was written by somebody with only a passing familiarity with English | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | I had to pretty much figure it all out from first principles | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | but now I have, I get messages when a process forks (or just calls clone) | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | and when a process calls exit | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | and when it calls exec | 02:07 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: oh, KERNEL 2.6.14 | 02:07 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: I thought it was one of those weird british dates for a second | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | you know you guys are unique in writing the date middle-endian, right? | 02:08 |
| Keybuk | and that middle-endian is batshit insane whichever way you look at it? | 02:08 |
| sadmac | what's wrong with bat shit? | 02:09 |
| Keybuk | it leaves a bad taste in the mouth | 02:09 |
| sadmac | you're doing it wrong. Put it on toast wedges, then melt cheese over them in a toaster oven, and sprinkle with cayanne | 02:10 |
| Keybuk | you're American | 02:10 |
| Keybuk | you don't even deserve to use the word "Cheese" | 02:10 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: http://www.ratemyeverything.net/post/2277/The_Typical_Mac_User.aspx | 02:13 |
| Keybuk | hey, you started it :p | 02:16 |
| sadmac | noted | 02:17 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: I clicked on a female friend's blog in my feed reader yesterday, thinking it was yours. After reading 2 paragraphs of her feminist critique of a novel she read there was a full 15 seconds when I thought you were a transexual and had neglected to mention :) | 02:18 |
| Keybuk | I'm sure you would have noticed | 02:18 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: I'm slow at 3am, and my feed reader is text only so no visual cues. But yeah, it sounded nothing like you. | 02:20 |
| keesj | Keybuk: how to you do most development, do you use a virtual machine? | 10:15 |
| keesj | also would this new tracing core posibly make it possible to have sub inits possibly running as user process | 10:16 |
| Keybuk | keesj: most development I just use the test suite | 15:24 |
| Keybuk | otherwise I replace the running init on my system ;) | 15:24 |
| Keybuk | or use vmware | 15:24 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: what? no kvm? | 15:46 |
| Keybuk | no | 15:48 |
| Keybuk | I hate freedom | 15:50 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: Hitler would have used vmware. | 15:51 |
| Keybuk | and Hitler would have preferred a nation of Blond haired, Blue eyed boys | 15:51 |
