Yes, it sounded that way. And I do have a preference for command-line
programs in general since I'm compiling and running my programs from
the command line it is extra time to go start another program, etc.
Note that for the profiling itself, there's the command line tool
"shark" which can be invoked from the command line (it even has a man
page). Visualizing can then be done using "open
session_XXX.mshark" (after which you'll end up in the gui, of course)
The most interesting command line option is probably "-i" ("start
sampling immediately")
