tracing only direct childrens

[Shameem Ahamed]

Hi Guys,

I know this is not the correct list to ask this question. But I am sure somebody from here can help me out.

My problem is, i am trying to trace a currently running Apache root process for creation of childs using strace.  But strace also lists the details of childs of childs. I want to restrict my trace only to the direct childrens.

How can we do it? .

Regards,
