dump(4)

dump -- boot dump timeout file

Description

The /etc/default/dump file contains keywords recognized by the ``timeout code''. When the system boots, if there is a system dump in the swap device, the system asks if you want to save the dump. After n seconds, the system assumes that you do not. The keyword TIME specifies the number of seconds that the system should wait before timing out.

TIME=n: If n is zero, the save the dump question is never asked. If the line is missing, the system waits forever. Otherwise, the system waits n seconds.
