I am using following script to delete core files. I have put this on cron to
delete cores daily at 12.00PM.
#find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core -print > core_data
#cat core_data | while read corefile
#do
#rm $corefile
This is working fine on AW51Bs, WP51Bs and AW51Es version 6.1.

When I said I remove it every Monday, that just means that Monday is when I
happen to look for it. I use one of Angel Corbera's scripts on a crontab
schedule to find the core files (Thanks, Angel!), and I delete them each
Monday morning. We use GoGlobal instead of eXceed here, and I think that
has a lot to do with FoxSelect creating these core files.
By the way, here is Angel's command for finding core files, which works
well:
find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core -ls
I don't know what urfs is either, but I know this works on an AW51E at v6.1
every week.

Hi Tim,
My particular core file was generated last Thursday when a PC
running Exceed had a Fox Select window freeze up. I had to shutdown Foxview
(on the PC) to get the Fox Select window to go away, and I found the core
file on Friday morning.
"file core" indicated the culprit was Fox Select, and the
timestamp was from Thursday, so I am "assuming" the PC exceed problem caused
the core dump.
Is Fox Select causing your core dumps?
If you get one every Monday and it has the same timestamp, you
might look for something in cron that runs about the same time.
A few years ago on my first Foxboro system I had a core file
generated every five minutes by the historian reduction group program. It
wasn't very big, but it was dumped every five minutes for at least five
months. My predecessor had deleted some collection points but had not
removed them from the reduction groups.
Didn't seem to cause any harm, but it was odd when I found the
core files . . .
