dexplorer - run a series of scripts and archive output. Uses DTrace. dexplorer This program automatically runs a collection of DTrace scripts to examine many areas of the system, and places the output in a meaningful directory structure that is tar'd and gzip'd. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. Solaris unstable - this script uses fbt provider probes which may change for future updates of the OS, invalidating this script. Please read Docs/Notes/ALLfbt_notes.txt for further details about these fbt scripts.
