strcmp core dumps

hi everyone, Right now when I do: strcmp(s1, s2); i get a core dump because at times s1 or s2 can be nothing so that makes strcmp() core dump. What is the solution, if at times I expect one of them (or both) to be NULL? I want to be able to compare that s1 is NULL and s2 is "blah" or...

Using GDB to analyse different CORE dumps

Hi, Can we modify the GDB source code so as to analyze core dumps from different targets? From my analysis, I think we need to build our section table statically for each target. i.e., including the various address boundaries in build_section_table() function. If this is the case, then the GDB...

AIX core dumps

core dumps

i had a situation where a process was defunct. preap would not reap the process and gcore would not work properly (not sure why). therefore, the suggestion was to force a panic and collect the core dump. obviously you could do a savecore -L and capture the dump without bringing down the system....

kill -SEGV <pid> gives me the core file for that process but also terminates the process. Can I not get the core dump without terminating the process ?

NAME

       ppud - Pay per use daemon

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       is a daemon that provides system configuration and core usage information to a utility meter system for billing purposes.  This daemon runs
       on Pay per use systems and meters core utilization and system configuration information.  The daemon sends this information  to	a  utility
       meter as an XML file.

       When  a	report	is sent to a utility meter, it is also written to the file /var/ppu/PPUReport.xml.  This report is best viewed using a web
       browser that understands XML.  If the connection to the utility meter fails, the daemon caches the report  data	until  the  connection	is
       restored.

       The daemon re-spawns itself if killed.  The following entry is added to /etc/inittab in order to have start and re-spawn itself:

       The  daemon  is	automatically  started when a system boots if a utility meter has been specified via the command (see ppuconfig(1M)).  The
       daemon does not need to be restarted when the meter configuration is changed via the command.

       The daemon reports errors via syslog.

       To unconfigure Pay per use, execute:

       Warning: if this is a Pay per use system and the daemon is not running, usage reports will not be sent to HP and usage may be assumed to be
       100%.

       The  daemon  performs  periodic operations based on the time of day.  The daemon is spawned by and gets its timezone specification from the
       /etc/default/tz file.  By default the timezone specified in /etc/default/tz is EST5EDT.	You can specify which timezone the daemon uses	to
       interpret its current time by modifying the /etc/default/tz file.  Refer to environ(5)) for details of the format.  A restart of the daemon
       is required before the new timezone value takes effect (i.e.  kill the  /usr/lbin/ppud process).

       For more information see the Pay per use User's Guide located at /usr/share/doc/PayPerUseUserGuide.pdf

AUTHORS

       ppud was developed by HP.

FILES

       /etc/default/tz
		 File contains the timezone value used by .  The format for the file is the same as the the environment  variable  format  without
		 the prefix .  (See environ(5) for details of the TZ format).

       /var/ppu/cache/
		 Directory contains the report data that is cached if the connection to the utility meter fails.
