RE: [newbie] core files
Hi, Care to expand the 'piping as per login - string variable' phrase? I always thought that it meant that the error messages sent to stderr (2) is redirected to stdout (1) which in the previous example was redirected to /dev/null. Or was that it?

Re: [newbie] core files absent???
Try the following: In a xterm type 'ulimit -c unlimited' (without quotes) now a dying program should produce those core files. there seems to be a restriction set for the maximum size of core files a program can produce. with that line above, you can change this. ulimit is a bash-built-in command. You find more in the manpage for bash i had the same problem and this had done the trick Christian Am Mit, 16 Feb 2000 schrieben Sie: Has Mandrake 7 been set up to suppress core files? I've had several programs die already without generating core files. Some of my own programs have segfaulted without generating core files but do generate core dumps on other machines... if this is the case, how can I re-enable them? This is somewhat annoying. DvB
