Hi Hari:

# find /path -type f -name core -exec rm -i {} \;

...will search, recursively, '/path' finding all files named "core" and ask, interactively for confirmation to remove them.

Regards!

Shalom,

Might want to know where the files are distributed.

cd /filesystem

du -k | sort -rn | more

Get a lay of the land.

While core files certainly can be big and cause for uncontrolled filling up of a filesystem, they are not the only cause.
Instead of looking for core files, why not look for large files in general?

For example:

find /fs -size +100000

It would help if you said which filesystem you have the problem with: e.g. if it's /var there may be log files that you can trim.

Hi Hari,

U can use the folowing command to search and delete core files in intrective mode in root file system.

find / -name *core -exec rm -i {} \;

Else for searching large files in your ssytem use following command.

find / -size +100000 -exec ll {} \;

Note: better first you see that in which filesystem you want to look for large files.

hi ;

be carefull deleting core files in 11.31 .
there is a module file named core ( /usr/conf/mod/core ) . if you delete all core files in the system by find command you cannot build kernel.

A voice frrom experience?

There is no /usr/conf/mod/core on the 11.31 system I am looking at. Too late to heed that warning?!
There is an lvmcore file and some more....

fwiw,
Hein.
