Agh...second time I've posted this...someone kick majordomo. Well, to get cores under Linux, you need to do a ulimit -c 400000 (or such) under Bash. I think Linux, by default, dumps no core unless you tell it to. The ulimit way is the best, plus I also think there's a little-known #ifdef buried somewhere in the kernel to cause Linux to default to core dumping. Also for thise savvy MUD programmers/die-hard Linux kernel hackers, I *think* there's some legacy code in the kernel that will add the pid to the core file name (i.e. core.pid) so you can relate bugs to logs etc (and also fill your HD VERY quickly :) Also, as a sidenote, I believe this Linux core question is in a Linux-FAQ and/or one of the HOWTO's (Quite possibily the Linux FAQ) Hope this helps everyone, Mark Crichton MUD Programmer/Linux Semi-hacker/all-around geek
