Fun fact, one layer of App Engine's sandbox from a couple years ago was implemented using ptrace. It will redirect filesystem IO to in-memory files.

  Interesting! That makes perfect sense, I just don't think I'm smart enough to use ptrace properly right now :P

    Were you mostly going off the ptrace man page? I tried reading it to figure out ptrace and it made me feel not smart enough too.

      The man page + Google! There's very few good examples of it, and I've accepted that I'm just not familiar enough with that specific problem space.
