- Does anyone know how to limit or eliminate core dump sizes?
- I know with the C shell at school there's a variable:
-
- set limitcoredumpsize=0
-
- I would like to do the same for my system. I believe that when the drive fills
- up, (Usually during a really nasty core dump - ~ 2meg or more) the system
- halts and dies. I figure if I can keep these core dumps from happening, then
- maybe the system won't crash entirely.
