After some experimenting I found the following:
The VMS command SET WATCH seems to be a command that allows you to monitor
all XQP activity of your process. Its syntax is as follows:
$ SET WATCH option /CLASS = [NO]ALL
NONE
[NO]ATTRIBUTES
[NO]CONTROL_FUNCTIONS
[NO]DIRECTORY_OPERATIONS
[NO]DUMP
[NO]ATTACHED
[NO]MAJOR_FUNCTIONS
[NO]QUOTA_OPERATIONS
where (currently?) the only option is the keyword FILE.
I don't understand the command in all its glory but I found some of the
classes very useful if I want to get some insight in:
o Why is a program using so damned much (/CLASS=QUOTA_OPERATIONS)
disquota?
o How is this program fiddling around with
my system's files? (e.g. trojan horses) (/CLASS=MAJOR_FUNCTIONS)
Good luck, and let me know if you find other nice applications.
