Yes I didn't want to mention that :) Modern linux systems at least can have multiple core files called core.1234, core.4312, ... etc. which the above solution doesn't handle easily. Here is a more robust solution using the method from the core file reporting mode of http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/ find /dir -type f -name "*core*" -printf "%p\n" | grep -E "/core$|\.core$|/core\.[0-9]+$" | xargs -r file | grep -qF "core file " && echo "Core file found" Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
