you can use ps to list running processes, but I would like to know if there is a way to inspect the running processes to any level of detail. for example, maybe there is a way to see every assembly instruction it invokes, or every change it makes to the file system or global memory. these are processes i don't directly invoke or control.

You can attach a debugger such as gdb to any running process. stop it and single step it etc

If you have the source and debug table you can set breakpoints at lines instated of just a public functions. I have not tried to used gdb with a dissassembly. .
