Core dump files will be generated if an application process receives a specific signal and terminates, so, please enter /var/crash/`uname -n` and you'll find core dump files like: unix.0 vmcore.0 unix.1 vmcore.1........ run " mdb 0 "or "mdb number-of-your-core-dump-files", then return me the otput of: ::status and ::$c Also please return me the output of |/var/adm/messages| when solaris crashed. Br, Lin
