# This is a stap script to monitor process creations (fork(), exec()'s).
# Based on stap script found: http://picobot.org/wordpress/?p=27
# With some minor modifications (i.e. timestamping)
# 
# Usage: stap forktracker.stp
#
# Sample output:
#
# timestamp: process_name (pid) new_pid
#
# Version 0.1
