Autogenerated corefiles

Hi
I have a HP-UX server that generates a corefile if I delete it. It generates it under / as /core and when I delete it, next morning it's back. Are there anyting to do with this?

Thanks.

Hi,

check your cron for any script generating the core file.

Might be some command forcing the core.

Re: Autogenerated corefiles

Hi Henry,

Look at the timestamp on the core file. Do a "file core" . Look for a cron job being executed around the time the core file was generated.

Hope this helps.
