tracing a ksh script within a ksh script
I normally trace a script with the ksh -x <script name> and redirect strderr to file. But if you have a script like the examble below......
vi hairy
bear=`grep bear animals`
if [ -n $bear ]
then
ksh more_animals
fi
If I ksh -x hairy it won't trace "more_animals" unless I put a -x in it. Is there a way to trace the original script and it will trace all other scripts within without actually have to add the -x? I have scripts invoking scripts that is invoking other scripts and it would be a pain to trace them all down to just add the -x.
Thanks in advance.

trace-cmd-hist
TRACE-CMD-HIST(1) TRACE-CMD-HIST(1)
NAME
trace-cmd-hist - show histogram of events in trace.dat file
SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd hist [OPTIONS][input-file]
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) hist displays a histogram form from the trace.dat file. Instead of showing the events as they were ordered, it creates a
histogram that can be displayed per task or for all tasks where the most common events appear first. It uses the function tracer and call
stacks that it finds to try to put together a call graph of the events.
OPTIONS
-i input-file
By default, trace-cmd hist will read the file trace.dat. But the -i option open up the given input-file instead. Note, the input file
may also be specified as the last item on the command line.
-P
To compact all events and show the call graphs by ignoring tasks and different PIDs, add the -P to do so. Instead of showing the task
name, it will group all chains together and show "<all pids>".
