Can you do remove core file based on what created them :(
Hi,
Currently, we have a Perl script from a third-party vendor that is generating core dumps. It has been reported. We can't turn off the script as it does generate some diagnostic file that's required. So at the moment, we have to let it continue to do its run.
I wish I can say the vendor is dependable enough to help us cleanup the core dumps but unfortunately they aren't, hence am here asking for help.
Is it possible to check that the core dump belongs to this script or were generated by this script before removing it? I can do a non-recursive find below and change the ls -l to a rm
But I am a bit concern that I may remove core files that we needed that belong to other processes? Also, how do I change the regex so that is does a find fo core\.<numbers-only>
-name "core.[0-9]*" is probably good enough. No escape for the dot is needed in a glob.
1000%% correct is \( -name "core.?*" \! -name "core.*[!0-9]*" \)
The ? enforces a character, ?* is at least one character.
[!0-9] is a character that is not a digit.

Unlike the glob the RE is not anchored, needs explicit anchors -regex '^core\.[0-9]+$'
And the RE needs to escape the dot (unescaped means one character).
The -maxdepth is a "global" option so should be first (not dependent on previous options).

I am not used to the -regex, and after reading the man page and some examples on stackexchange:
it IS anchored - on the whole pathname!
That means one must use -regex '.*/core\.[0-9]+'
We have a user where a process is behaving abnormally and crashing. It would be great if a core file was generated, but I don't see one.

Hi There,
I was wondering how to manage files (ie. rm, cp , mv) based on date last modified and date created.
ie. Say i want to:
mv ./* ./temp/* (where the date created < 29/1/2006 )
or
mv ./* ./temp/* (where the date modified > 27/1/2006 && date modified < 29/1/2006)
Thanks in... (1 Reply)
