Perhaps a better way would be to use standard VMS accounting. It can account
for each image invoked. Just do SET ACCOUNTING/ENABLE=IMAGE. Then you can
use standard ACCOUNTING commands to examine/analyze the data. The command to
turn it off is (naturally) SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE=IMAGE.

BEWARE: This produces LOTS of accounting records. Don't leave it enabled for
a long period of time, particularly if you are short of disk space.
