Avoid core file filling up a file system

[Stijn V]

We have HPUX server with some large java processes, when one crashes, it creates a hughe core file filling up the file system ... which results in application downtime.

I would like to define the size of the core file for that specific user to zero ...

How can I do this? Thanks.

# ulimit -c 0

Define this in the .profile file of the user

You can setup a cron job to remove or move core files to a different place for review later on.
