I have been asked by an application developer, who is trying to find out problems with one of their products running on our server, to set up the server so that "core files can be written". What are these, and how would I do this?
I have also been instructed to, once a core file is generated, to "rename the core file to a unique name and collect a stack backtrace". 1. How will I know when a core file has been generated? 2. What is and how do I do a stack backtrace? Apologies for these basic questions; and thanks for any help. Rory
