Well, when I (under bash) say $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 3072 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
If I then say: $ ulimit -c 1000 $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 1000 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 3072 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited Still no corefile gets produced (and it does on rh7.1 & 7.2. The network is a network of linux machines. My desktop is rh 7.3. My account is NIS and my home is mounted and the same on all machines, so that eliminates differences in personal login configuration. Does anyone know how & where I might try and find out what is going on here?

Any ideas? What is the output of ulimit -a? Is the core file larger than 1000 blocks? Write permissions in the directory where it wants to dump core (usually the current working directory, but you know that). My 7.3 system at work says: $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 2047 $ ulimit -c 1000 $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 1000 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 2047 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited ===== _____________________________ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
