redirecting core files

KPS — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:12:22 GMT

Does HP-UX have any way to redirect the location that a core file gets written to by sending a certain "kill" signal to a PID?

Thanks

And apparently, you have to put redirection clause to the script/program itself :

When a core dump occurs during the
execution of a program, the core file, core, is created in the working directory of the
terminated process. This core file reflects the memory image of the terminated process.
