Time to bite the bullet

I have decided its time to try and get up to speed with dtrace, a highly powerful tool only available in Solaris 10 currently. Since others may be doing the same thing here is a group of links to a few good dtrace resources on the web.

I find it best to have a goal in mind when I start to learn a new programming language or program. My goal is to write a program that tracks network resources used a group of users. I make sure that guest users on my machine have a UID between 3000 and 5000 so they are easy to track. When I get this working I will post a link to the script.
