Re: core dump disable
I don't think it's possible to disable core dumps, but I'm not sure. I
just thought I'd give you an idea I thought of when reading your post.
Why don't you run this program from a RAM disk? Mount a ramdrive and copy
the program that dumps core to it. Make sure the program saves the
product to a real partition. When It dumps core on the ramdrive it will
not have enough room to save the core file.
I don't know if core goes to /tmp in this situation but it's worth a shot
if there's no way to disable core dumps.
I also wonder if a redirect command can be used to send the core output to
/dev/null? I've not heard of this so maybe someone with knowledge of core
dumps can tell us if redirecting (2>,>) will redirect a core dump? I
would be interested in knowing myself.
