Create core file AND continue execution?

[Jan Zalman]

Hi,
is there any way on hpux11.11 to create core file from runnig process, keeping this process still runing? (so SIGQUIT cannot help) I was informed that maybe Linux or x86 version of gdb has gcore command, but I haven't found this feature in hpux gdb. Thanks for any advice. Jan.

Hello,

In FreeBSD or Solaris the utility is called gcore.
I don't find any equivalent on HP-UX.

There could a be a specific signal to send to process to get the core and leave it running. Maybe it can be done with a debbugger.

Cheers
