In Linux, you have strace:

strace -f sh -c 'grep word1 file > file.txt'

Here we use -f to tell strace to trace child process.

In *BSD, you have dtruss (which use dtrace underlying):

dtruss -f sh -c 'grep word1 file > file.txt'

OSX has trace. Historical Unix systems have truss (Solaris, AIX, etc.).
