Hi,

Your question is not clear. A program, whether User or System will dump core by default, if it runs into an execution error. That's why you would see "core" file when a program aborts at runtime. There is no need to configure it (and as far as i know there is nothing like that).

Are you referring to crash dump? I.e when the system hangs and a reboot is needed. Is that what you want to configure??

Hi,

Two man configuration files:

/etc/rc.config.d/crashconf
/etc/rc.config.d/savecrash

crashconf allows you to configure crash dumps at boot time.

savecrash allows you to specify the level of saving the crash dump (eg. partial
saving) etc and saves it.

Their startup scripts are respectively:

/etc/rc1.d/S080crashconf
/etc/rc1.d/S440savecrash

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

The short answer is to set SAVECRASH to 1 in /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash.

Hope this helps. Regards.
