With regard to the other things in this thread, if the sysInternals group at Microsoft is willing to share the interface between their application and driver, wine could easily implement it (ultimately far more secure than the Windows solution), then the tools could run on wine. Unless you're expecting filemon running in wine to magically start showing all file access even from applications not using the Win32 API.
What is the use of just running those tools? Aren't there Linux equivalents for it?
I don't know. Certainly procmon is lightyears ahead of strace in terms of usability, plus isn't limited to a single process. A google found that KDE will be providing a GUI app named "inspektor" but I couldn't find very much on it. What is your preferred utility for filling that niche (logging I/O calls)?
If it was a test case for better driver support, then yeah, it is useful, but just running those apps by cloning parts of them seems wasted effort to me
Those particular apps are useful to the point that every competent Windows sysadmin knows of them.
