I agree with this point. It seems that several applications need hook
functions in fork() or/and exit(). I can give example like CSA, ELSA,
CKRM, CpuSet, LSM or Dprobes. Thus, if I need a hook in fork() for my
accounting application, ELSA for example , and if I don't want to add my
own hook, PAGG is a solution. AFAIU, I can't use LSM hooks because it's
a security framework, I can't use Dprobes because it's a debugging
framework and the hooks used by CpuSet and CKRM don't allow any
registration. There was also another project called kernelhooks (the
former GKHI I think) but I don't know if it's still maintained...

Best,
