AIX 4.3及以前版本居然没有可用的truss工具！

AIX5.1开始提供truss工具，但是常见的Aix4.3及以前的版本都没有该工具，在网上找了找，找到如下信息：

There's a third-party product for AIX 4 (and 3) which is similar to truss:
sctrace, from SevOne Software.  It's quite good, but you do have to pay for
it.

AIX's trace facility is actually quite powerful (you can do some interesting
things if you dig into its innards and rewrite the template file), but it's
not nearly as convenient for quick tracing of a single process as
truss/ltrace/sctrace.

truss Command
Audience: Administrators 
Date: June 22, 2001 
The "truss" utility traces system calls. It's a popular System V tool that allows administrators to identify performance bottlenecks within applications. 
The truss command is available in AIX starting in at version 5.1. The following shell script emulates the truss functionality in AIX 4.3. 

 
 
#!/bin/ksh
# Name: truss.sh
# Purpose: to make AIX trace look like the truss command
# Caveat:  Unsupported tool. Use at your own risk.
