This will generate a core file under /tmp as: core.$PID To override this and specify a location for the files, enter the following command (as root) replacing "/tmp" with the desired target directory: # echo "/tmp/core" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern re_pattern=/var/crash/core_%e_%p_%h_%tġ, The following method has been provided by Red Hat, but is outside the scope of the posted Service Level Agreements and support procedures.Īdd the following call to the application source (in the C language): prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1) īy default, core files are created in the working directory of the faulting application. The core_pattern below is just an example. Other RHEL version, use following sysctl settings in /etc/nf. RHEL 3, use the following command to enable the dumping of setuid applications: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_setuid_ok If this does not generate a core, make sure that the application has the correct uid and that it does not use setuid to change uid when running. With this setup, a core file from the application should result. If this application is being started within its init script with the daemon command, edit the /etc/init.d/functions file to comment out or change this line: # ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 Please note that for these settings to be honored, it is necessary to comment out the above mentioned ulimit command in the /etc/profile file as follows: # No core files by default The /etc/security/nf file is well documented with usage and options at the top of the file. The field is the maximum block size of a core file. For example, if all the members of the "devel" group are to be allowed to dump core files: # soft core To disallow users of the system to be able to dump core files, configure the /etc/security/nf file to allow only certain users or groups to create core files. Replace the above ulimit command in /etc/profile with the following (this will allow all users to produce core files of unlimited size): # ulimit -S -c unlimited > /dev/null 2>&1 Below methods may conflict with abrt-* services, please use them with abrt-* services stopped and disabled. Note:- There are a couple of ways to enable core file creation. How to generate a core dump in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
