+The following is a demonstration of the lastwords command,

+
+Here we run lastwords to catch syscalls from processes named "bash" as they
+exit,

+In another window, a bash shell was executed and then exited normally. The
+last few system calls that the bash shell made can be seen above.
+
+
+
+
+In the following example we moniter the exit of bash shells again, but this
+time the bash shell sends itself a "kill -8",
+
+ # ./lastwords bash

+
+The last few system calls are different, we can see the kill system call
