Operating Systems HP-UX [Solved] Deleting a all core files present in file systems ? Post 302381195 by methyl on Thursday 17th of December 2009 11:09:49 AM

Be careful. There are files and directories called "core" on most unix systems (including HP-UX) which are not "core files".

This is dangerous.
Quote:
find / -name core -exec rm -f {} \;
To get a list of files which are definitely core files.
Code:
find // -type f -name core -exec file {} \;|grep "core file from"|awk -F: '{print $1}'


Ps: I've seen a unix System V system destroyed by deleting everything called "core".

gcore [-pgF] [-o filename] [-c content] process-id... DESCRIPTION

The following options are supported: -c content Produces core image files with the specified content. The content description uses the same tokens as in coreadm(1M). The -c option does not apply to cores produced due to the -p or -g flags. -F Force. Grabs the target process even if another process has control. -g Produces core image files in the global core file repository with the global content as configured by coreadm(1M). The com- mand will fail if the user does not have permissions to the global core file repository. -o filename Substitutes filename in place of core as the first part of the name of the core image files. filename can contain the same tokens to be expanded as the paths in coreadm(1M). -p Produces a core image file in the process-specific location with the process-specific content for each process as config- ured by coreadm(1M). The command will fail if the user does not have permissions to the per-process core file repository. OPERANDS
