RHEA-2012:0976 - trace-cmd enhancement update

Synopsis

trace-cmd enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated trace-cmd packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The trace-cmd packages contain a command line tool that interfaces with ftrace in the kernel.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • This update adds support for the "-i" option that can be used to ignore events. By default, if an event is listed but cannot be found by the trace-cmd utility on the system, the utility exits. This option allows trace-cmd execution to continue even when an event is listed on the command line but cannot be found on the system. (BZ#632061)

All users of trace-cmd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
