Subject: Determining if process is having core dump
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 15:51:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ca1fk9$92t$3@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
Is there a way for a unrelated process to determine if another process
is exiting and is in the state of having core dump.
In solaris, this can be determined using libkvm(checking process flags
for SDOCORE and COREDUMP). Is there a way to do this in linux 2.6
One of the things I observed is flag in /proc/<pid>/stat (9th
attribute) is set to non-zero after process receives a signal to quit
after core dump (SIGABRT, SIGQUIT etc.). Is it an indication that
process is going to exit or what does it indicates.
Is there some other way to determine this. I don't want to limit size
of core file to 0 using ulimit, as this file is required to be analyzed
later.
Also, while process is exiting and it receives another signal, it is
corrupting the core dump.
