Can you do a file core to see which process is generating this core? $ sudo file sleep.core sleep.core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), FreeBSD-style, signal 11, pid 15278, from 'sleep' (sudo in your case might not be required) And once it is done, you can figure out what the process is doing either by debugging it with gdb or reading the log files etc. To debug it using debug, gdb <processname> <corefile> Also, the reason why ulimit is not working in your case because the process is already running. Your settings will work only for processes that are started subsequently from your shell where you did the settings.
