- I'm trying to make a program dump core upon reception of SIGUSR1.
- Unfortunately, the abort(3) call doesn't seem to work.
- Yes, I verified that:
- 1) the current working dir is writable
- 2) uid and euid of the program are the same
- 3) there is no shell-imposed coresize limit
- Still the abort() call doesn't create a core dump.
-
- Is there another way to make a program dump core?
- This is under ISC 2.2.1 (SVR3) and gcc.
-
- Many thanks in advance,
-
- Rick
