gcore for hpux?

Tim Killinger — Thu, 19 Aug 2004 19:47:59 GMT

Does anyone know if and where "gcore" utility is available for HPUX? We have a serious problem with iplanet webserver performing poorly on a relative untaxed system, and need to do some iplanet core analysis.

Thanks for anything you can suggest!

Hi Tim,

I have access to some internal tools web page and one of the tools on that page is the HP-UX version of gcore. I'd be happy to provide it for you but I need to know which version of HP-UX you want it compiled for?

Regards,

Dave

If you are looking for the program that will dump core image of the running process (without stopping it), HP's gdb (/opt/langtools/bin/gdb) from version 3.2 onwards has a command 'dumpcore' to achieve this.

# gdb
HP gdb 3.3 for PA-RISC 1.1 or 2.0 (narrow), HP-UX 11.00.

No need to get fancy with external packages/third party products to do this - kill -IOT will do the trick.

Hi Tim,

I've downloaded your shell script attachment which on executing gave gcore and fixcore executables.

but I'm facing issue with using it on HP-UX B.11.11, HP-UX B.11.23

Can you please help me in providing the appropriate binary.

It would be really helpful if you can briefly tell me about fixcore functionality.

Thanks,
-Vikas.

You can simply invoke gdb on the process and use the gcore command there.

Hi Vikas,

I've located updated gcore binaries that should work on 11.23. There were two different binaries so I pulled them both. Hopefully one of them will work for you. I'll attach them in separate posts.

Regards,

Dave

Here's the other binary in case the previous one doesn't work.
