These are examples of the results after running the sh_who.d script.
This script shows which UIDs and PIDs are running shell scripts, and how
active they are. It measures the number of lines executed according to
the line probe - which is a useful, but rough measure of shell activity.
Here it runs as a script executes three times.

13663 0 9 ./func_abc.sh
13667 0 9 ./func_abc.sh
13671 0 9 ./func_abc.sh
We see func_abc.sh ran three seperate times, each with nine lines of shell
activity.
Here we trace an instance of starting Mozilla Firefox.

13677 100 75 firefox
Firefox itself (PID 13677) ran 75 lines of code. There are also instances of
firefox running a single line of code with a different PID each time. These
are probably calls to subshells. Use the sh provider to confirm.
