Any process that is started via 'su' will not core dump. It's a security
feature to prevent information contained with datafiles/binaries from being
dumped to a file that is readable by someone else.
To make sure that the mud starts up at server reboot, you should look into
running a cron job every 10 to 15 minutes.
