Attached is my safe_asterisk script, it is moving the core to some dumpdrop
directory that does not seem to exist.

    If you take a look at the safe_asterisk shell script, usually located at
/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk (for CentOS at least), you'll be able to find where
the core files are located. If it's not located there, then you'll need to
look at the Asterisk init script for the scripts location. I hope this
helps.

John

I would suspect one of the following:

(1) Asterisk is not actually crashing.
(2) Something is deleting the core files.
(3) The core files are hiding really, really well.

Either way, if you can't get a backtrace, there isn't much we can do to help
with that problem.
