thanks for this suggestion.

here’s what things look like

pipe "$home/perlscripts/filter.sh"

where filter.sh looks like this

#! /bin/sh

/usr/bin/strace -o /home/elastica/filter2.log -A nice -10 /usr/bin/perl /home/elastica/perlscripts/filter.pl

for now seems to be working.

I just have to get more offending messages.

I will say right now though there’s a lot of “ENOENT” errors and this is not unexpected because whenever something has a search path it’s going to try many places to locate something so these kinds of errors are going to be very prevalent when you start tracing.
