Truss and the Matrix Hokey as it may sound, I find that I am more focused when scanning truss output if I'm listening to Matrix Reloaded's instrumental tracks. Surely it has more to do with the fast paced rhythm than any supernatural ability to be one with machine code, but the parallels are there to be drawn.

Neo sees Agent Smith laying a trap

Hoffie sees a missing class file
That output is from running truss on the process ID of the webserver demon; webservd. # truss -p 25150
And of course a little editing in The GIMP which came packaged with my Java Desktop System.

The debugging above is from my current project to install Sun's Java Enterprise System stack to provide a Portal infrastructure. We're deploying it on a Solaris 10 whole root zone that was created from a minimized install intended to be internet facing. This will be the first use of zones in my group's internet presence. For this test deployment we are using using two smokin' fast v40z's.
