how to log machine activity

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

I am chasing a problem where I notice audio hiccups at regular intervals. It may be cron but I cannot see how.

I want to log start/end of every executable. I will do this for only a few minutes at a time.
I may want, later, to log all access to one fs to see if it matches what I hear.

I am on f34, x86_64, up to date. Surely there is a standard tool to do this (I hope)?

TIA
