I have a very long process that is systematically killed by the
system. How can I know what is wrong with it? I know that works well
because when I run the script with a small number of files the process
exits successfully.


Without knowing what the process is, it's hard to say, but it could be
reaching some sort of limit, either in the script itself or a system
limit, like the size of a directory or partition, or running out of
memory.
You are rigth. It's reaching some sort of limit, but I don't know how to 
 output what was the problem. I guess I'm looking for some system call 
that could describe what happened before the process was kill. Does that 
thing exists?



When the script is killed by the system, does it exit with any kind of
error?
No
