usage: executable_wrapper
This script is used to wrap executables in order to
analyse how they are called by other scripts, daemons etc.
It will log all parameters and the environment of the
originally called executable to a log file for inspection.
How to use:
===========
Let's suppose you want to wrap the executable 'foo':
First approach
--------------
1. rename the original executable
# cd /where/the/original/lives
# mv foo foo.orig
2. copy executable_wrapper where 'foo' was before
# cp executable_wrapper /where/the/original/lives/foo
Second approach
---------------
1. make sure that the 'executable_wrapper' script will
be executed instead of the executable 'foo':
# cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -s ~/path_to/executable_wrapper foo
Note that by convention /usr/local/bin comes first
in $PATH on Unix systems
2. make the original executable 'foo' available as
'foo.orig'
# cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -s /bin/foo foo.orig
You can also set the name of the original executable in
the variable original_exec_name inside the
'executable_wrapper' script if you need to do so.
3. output will be logged to /tmp/foo.log.XXXXXX,
where 'XXXXX' will be some random string.
You can also set the log name in the variable
'log_name' inside the 'executable_wrapper' script
