Just find:

Frankly, I loathe this kind of thing. Instead, I just run a nightly job to
report them by email to me. They really don't accumulate that rapidly. If
some of your users are debugging something which is dumping core they'll be
REALLY annoyed if you blow away their process dumps without asking.
If you have real space problems (we have had with out CAD users) you can run
users' environments with the corelimit set low (or zero).
