I'd like to catch the system calls that an process is making, so I can
examine the system call and optionally handle it myself. Under Linux and
Solaris, I can use ptrace() with the PTRACE_SYSCALL command, which will
let the process run until it enters or exits a system call.

Is systrace <http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/systrace/> suitable for your purposes?


It hasn't been updated for the recent MacOS X kernels, as far as I know, but it did work up until at least Jaguar. If nothing else, it's probably a good starting point for how-to.
