}And you call yourself "Unix Guru Dude"?  ;-)  (You should find truss on
}a SVR4 system, at least -- it's quite handy at times.)

The 'handle' is a hangover from when I was heavy into adminstration....
Hmmmm, I have yet to meet the person that knows ALL available commands on
any one version of UNIX. :)  Are you familiar with magic mode?  Anyone?
I don't know if it exists outside of SVR4, but it's pretty nifty.  First
the test, anyone aware of it, if not, I will share it....  It is very
typical of Bell Labs stuff.  Just a hint, it provides additional commands
at a very critical time.  When you enter it, it actually responds with:

poof!

As I said, typical Bell Labs (humor).  I know it exists in SVR3 and
NCR's SVR4....
